We are going to take a ride once the weather brakes and he is going to give me some pointers on stopping. Going to be an adventure that I am looking forward to. Until then I am riding on my POS mountain bike that is falling apart. I will be giving it away when I find another beater. Maybe a fixed, if I get into this style of riding. I like the idea of it.
Not sure how you knew Randy was helping me with this bike? Guess I will meet you at some point on the road. Just give me plenty of room to stop if you see me coming.

I had no idea Randy was helping you build it, but he's one of the most generous mechanics I've run into in PGH so it doesn't surprise me. I know he's adamant about his bare bars (and wayyy narrow risers at that), so I didn't know if he had influenced you yet

. I'll probably swing through town during my spring break, so I'd be willing to roll with ya when the time comes.
