Bob...
I said I was through, but you know -- N +1. This one will have butterfly touring bars. 29er frame w solid fork, 700x(skinny)32s. 50/34 front, 11-34 9 speed rear. Little longer wheelbase than I am used to -- should be nice and stable for higher road and downhill speeds. The butterfly bars have a configuration to avoid excessive reach despite size 19 frame. ( Ordinarily I would use 16 or 17.) Should have everything to put it together Thursday.
Been (relatively) cold here also. Don't have a trainer to ride, but did 10 x 100 = 1000 reps on the leg press at the gym Sunday.
See you in the spring, and I WILL send pics.
