Hello from the Bay Area!

I've spent enough time lurking here that I've decided I might as well finally join in the fun. Most days I can be found riding a giant (62cm) pink and white Ross Centaur that I built up from the frame, with color matched everything and a rattle-canned pink pizza rack. Or maybe hitting some dirt and fire roads on a Surly Pacer with squeezed on 35c Gravel Kings. Happy to be here!



built up from the frame at the bike co-op. This one's my baby

I also ride a Giant (Quasar vintage). It's my foul weather bike and get lots of abuse. You probably know a thing or two about foul weather

Actually, I meant giant in size, not Giant the brand. I'll never be able to sell my daily driver, because it's:
  • A Ross (get no respect)
  • Huge (62cm)
  • Pink
That creates a Venn diagram for a target buyer that's minuscule in overlap. Luckily, I'm way to emotionally attached to it to consider selling it.

As for bad weather, I rarely ride in it. Those are the days (in normal times) that my buss pass gets a workout instead of my legs.
