Might want to let me know you are coming. Otherwise, you'll never make it past the dog.
So, I HATE THE USPS!!!! They screwed up my drop off of bike stuff today.
Furthermore, the vintage NOS Girvin Flexstem I'd ordered was oversized, so it won't be fitting my bike. Too bad, as it was pretty hot. I'd always loved the way they felt on roadbikes, and had been really jonesing for one.
Anyway, if all goes well tomorrow, the following should be arriving and/or fitted to my bike:
Brooks Flyer saddle
fake leather handlebar grips from Nashbar that I hop match the Brooks saddle
Conti Gatorskin sew-ups
a black wire basket for the front (wretch all you like, city bikes are all about utility)
Sram 9.0 brake lever (this plastic stuff is weirdly light, but it was $5 new)
What I still need:
Better handlebar and stem
Better seatpost that is micro-adjustable
New brake caliper to replace my Universal Super 68 (this really should go on somebody's classic Italian fixed gear bike)
