Thanks for all the compliments.

Other than a rubbing tire on the left chainstay and saddle adjustment it was a relatively uneventful 51.8km through Vancouver.





I can't say it was instant love...there was some getting used to it and the Brooks pro needs breaking in but about halfway through the ride I started to go a bit faster and test the bike out a bit more. By the end of the ride it was quite nice and I'm sure I'll dial a few minor things in over the next few rides to my satisfaction.

As for the twine...I just followed epicurean cyclist twine video on YouTube. I did make it quite tight as I was wrapping it and again when I cinched it all together.
