Going for a ride on the Miyata if it stops raining. Otherwise, cleaning up the Performance Parabola that I got yesterday. It has the usual nicks and scrapes for a 20+ year old bike, but it doesn't have a lot of miles and the bar-end shifters clicked into each gear without hesitation. Some new grease in the bearings, a set of tires, and bar tape and I'll be ready to hit the road. I might put some fenders on, as well, if the ones I have will fit. I already got rid of the seat. The gel saddle cover was like sitting on a water balloon.
