I am a fickle old man....

I'm selling off the Blue Goose and the electric assist MTB. I had bought some bar-end shifter adapters and a compact crankset for Goose. The crankset won't fit. Otherwise she's fine, I just have another vintage Columbus steel bike (she's white).

They'll make room and cash for the latest. The new build is a cyclocross bike. I have all the parts ordered or on hand. This one will allow me some mild trail (C&O) rides and to run studded tires. The road style is much more enjoyable than a MTB for everything that's not single track. I may buy a Bionx electric assist kit to help with the studded tire trips.

Your stable never stays static for long.

What's with all this electric assist talk? You getting lazy in your old age? ;)

And grumpy, damnation!


I've got 4 road bikes left, and when I want pain I ride my single speed Raleigh. I'm hoping I can gear the cross bike low enough to push studded snow tires though a couple inches of slush.
The idea of a Bionx assist is to do a 20+ mile commute at 22mph+ instead of 16mph. A little help pushing through ice would be welcome.
