It evens out. I'm recovering from a broken shoulder and can't do much riding.
Converting bikes is part of my physical and emotional rehab after the crash.
I'm always on the lookout for new (old) bikes and my friend has provided
me several at yardsale prices or less. Thanks to eBay wheelsets and other
parts are pretty affordable and it's just me and the dog to spend money on.
Using parts on hand this bike will cost me less than $50 to convert. I can
strip down and adjust an old bike in less than a hour.
I'm just bitter that I'm riding a converted Falcon with a newly dented top tube and scratched carbon fork, torn tape, all that fun stuff.
It usually takes me about 2-3 hours to convert, but I don't have another frame that I want to ride right now. The Bianchi is definatly NOT seeing MN winter roads.
