cool on lending the bike to a friend for a shared trip.
ya, figured the bar end thing was for that reason. Friction front shifting is really nice, I have considered doing it using my Gevenalle shifters if I were ever to go to a bike with 11 speed or something where using a brifter is also nice for the rear.
So--the "any guitarist" comment--not being a musician, I don't get it---is it the colour coding? Does this relate to specific notes or a chord or something? Cute how all your bikes have this interesting pattern of colours, looks good even if one has no idea what it means.
and I chuckled at the other bikes comment too. We are all lovers of bikes here arent we?
Thanks for the kind comments djb
The guitarist comment relates to G.A.S
(Guitar Acquisition Syndrome), which affects many guitarists. How many guitars do you need = n+1, steel strung, nylon, electric, single cut, double cut, 6,7,12 string etc etc. I think it’s a bit worse than bikes: road, mtb, gravel, touring etc etc… apart from the collectors in both camps of course 😅
Unfortunately (fortunately) I have both interests.
The white, yellow, and red tape are reflective. The other colours are electrical tape to cover up decals both to make the bike look less theft-worthy, but also - in the eyes of this beholder - beautiful.
Yeah, I love my bikes and guitars. I know they’re tools, but I do get emotionally attached to them- They give me so much
