Hi Guys! It's me again!

Today I bring to you another handmade frameset by Igor Miyamura: Galadriel (A.K.A. "Só no Girinho").





It's my Touring Bike, but sometimes I use it to commute as well.
The first picture was taken at "Pico Monte Negro" (Black Mount Peak) in São José dos Ausentes - Rio Grande do Sul/BR. The second was at Canoas Park, also in Rio Grande do Sul.

There are some canyons on north of Rio Grande do Sul. I went there last july, in the middle of brazilian's winter.
Not so cold as in United States, but quite freezing for us brazilians, hehehe!

The bike's earlier name was "Só no Girinho". It's a kind of encouraging expression here, when you're facing a long and steep slope and have to choose the biggest cog and the smallest chainring, keeping a confortable pace in order to beat the slope. No rush, just a confortable and steady pace, you know...

We use to say "É isso aí...vai só no girinho! Você consegue!"
(That's it...go "só no girinho"! You can make it!)

BTW, there is a expression like this in english?
It would be nice to know if I can "translate" the expression...it's a kind of "mantra" to me!

See ya, buddies!
