The first ride
As ya'll know I've been building up a Serotta frame,
lacing wheels, gluing tires etc.
Tonight I took it out, and for 10 mile shake down
ride this bike wasn't an aria, it was more
like Stravinsky's Firebird suite.
One word description of ride? Glissando (sp?)
Still have a few minor adjustments to do but
damn. . .
the best part? I did it myself, all of it. I am this bike
(or is it this bike is me?).
More descriptions to follow.

Yup I plan on riding this one Sat.
I might bring the Trek, but that means switching
pedals, seats etc.
I felt really guilty taking the parts off the trek,
but deceided that I'm keeping it, not as a beater
bike, but as a "different" ride.
can't wait to get some real miles in . . .
