There's a guy at my office who rides a sweet DA'd GT road bike...full race setup. Ended up accidentally emailing one and other ...look what he bought Friday for the winter and the rain....sweeet.

Nice. Never seen an Aquila track frame before. That seems kinda dumb for the winter though, I mean, no place for fenders and probably 25c max tires size. Unless you're joking of course.
I was pretty warm coming into work except for my right pinkie which for some reason went numb.
PS. my favorite little trails on the spit that I did yesterday were the sandy ones that go out from the little sailing club, and then some of the beat up service roads where I was practicing bunny hopping into (unforntunately not over) rocks and puddles.

I don't Think he was joking. If and when he starts riding it in I'll let you know, we all park together in the executives' underground. I like that service road to the sailing club ..my daughter and I have ridden into there. She's a champ.

I got up to about 45km/h going down the straight gravel road to the club. It felt like I was just barely skipping over the surface. I haven't ridden on sand for ages either. I should go and ride those sandy trails more as its good practice for riding in snow. Hitting a long patch of sand at a decent speed and fishtailing around a corner is damn fun too. I bumped into a guy with a mountain bike making a camp fire on one of the secluded little beaches. Looked nice and warm. Good idea, we should give it a try some time.

if you follow that road all the way to the end the beach there is really nice .... my daughter and I sit there and look for rocks to collect and the birds lounging around. WE saw a HUGE fish buzz the beach one day, gliding by us nice and slow. It fills my heart with pride that my 9 year old can ride almost that entire pathway from road to beach.

Always Shizzy..
.. though I do except you to make back upto the road without getting off. Her, not just yet...and she's on SS. She's a trooper though, she wiped out on a speed wobble coming down the bridge at Riverale Zoo a couple summers ago, carved and bounced.... got up and rode again. Now she's got bigger wheels and she loves it.

I would guess that it is more like a 54 and looking at it, yeah, it appears to be on the small side. I wonder what happened to the fork?
