Hey guys. Long time no see. . .
Heh. Been a while.
Finally got my ’86 C-dale back from the ex in exchange for my ’97 R200 mutt. To tell the truth, I had never ridden it since I finished building it up. So I took it out last Sunday. Let me tell you: there’s a huge difference in ride quality / efficiency. Went through 55 K like it was nothing (mind you, I’ve not ridden more than 32-33 K at once in over a year).
So, I’m so happy to have it back. I tell you they really knew how to build ‘em back then. I think I like it BETTER than my CAAD 10. . .
Ok. That’s out of the way:
Have a line on a 1987 Specialized Sirrus. Max price is set at $200, depending on paint condition . . . and other stuff might offer less. Not for me, exactly, but for my girlfriend. She’s on a 54 cm Sequoia right now and needs something smaller. It’s an embarrassment of riches ‘round here, I tell you.
Lastly,
Bib shorts are awesome. That is all.

Wait, you just [finally] got a bike back from the ex-

Are you not seeing a pattern developing here?

unless you are tall and slim, then bibs don't rock. They pinch.
