What a great ride in this AM! Temps around 60. Legs felt great and I made the 7 mile commute in less than 30 minutes including a couple red lights. This was on the MTB I've borrowed from a friend. Whole range of higher gears available to me, which wasn't the case by the end on my now defunct hybrid due to some shifting issues I was ignoring b/c I kept thinking my new bike would be built soon. Realizing now how much that slowed me down, even though I pedaled a decent cadence.

Anyway, new bike finally is close. Have all components I need and rustproofed inside of LHT frame last night. Build on Saturday!!!
