Last 30 days. Got drunk. Wrecked. Got a couple of stitches, chipped half a tooth. Still healing. Got a new road frame. Roubaix Pro SL. Barmac bars. Rebuilt old Record/CXP33/ Competition rear wheel into Record/RR1.1/Revolution. Used my 24h DuraAce/Venus/ Revo front for a light combo. The thing is a beast and rides like the wind and is super comfy and at home on everything from flats, to climbs, to shredding some gravel.
Things continue on in the shop and I am gassed after a bunch of coworkers being in and out. More out than in. I am in need of some serious mileage. I am getting out in the am tomorrow for more road miles. It is a good thing I switched to a lighter road bike seeing as I now live in Portland, WA (a suburb of Iowa City IA.) We are currently in the rainy season and won't be able to ride mountain bikes til August more than likely.
I am also collecting stuff for my future Winter Bike Project. So far all I am short is a Surly 34t Chainring, Salsa guard, X9 short cage derailleur, 9spd shifter (grip or trigger), Thomson stem, 73x110mm square taper BB. I think that's all. Oh and a frame and fork. I'm thinking Karate Monkey or maybe a Misfit Cycles DiSSent or even a QBall. Or maybe I might have a little something else up my sleeve. If anyone has any of those parts and they want to rid themselves of them let me know.
Road miles in the AM.
