It's the tail end of the riding season here in mid-Michigan, and I'm trying to get my house in order.
The "winter" bikes will be my trusty Bruce Gordon BLT from Taiwan and a Specialized Rockhopper that'll go studded.
I've been running the Gordon with a North Roads bar that doesn't do it for me for anything beyond a few miles, so I'm going back to drops. Got one of the Velo Orange Randonneurs that are on sale right now, and the "50 cm" is actually a really nice 46 cm at the hoods. A great fit for this bike, but while I was setting this up, I ruined the 80s Dura Ace levers.. and I'd just put a Mirrycle on it, too. Boo hoo... And I wasn't whaling on it, either.
