Both of my road bikes need a bar re-wrap. Good thing I don't care.

I know. Honestly, the whole thing sounds like a joke, but somebody a hefty chunk of cash for a bike entirely made of 1s and 0s.

I like it because it's the thing I do last in building up a bike. Plus it's one of those tasks that's not difficult but rewards close attention. When I was shooting bows'n'arras, I used to enjoy twisting bowstrings for much the same reason.

Somewhere nearby, some poor schmo is going through his tool box, his junk drawer, every place he can think of for his 11mm wrench, and wondering whether he'll round off the nut with the 12.

After seeing somebody's thread on a Saeco Cannondale from the late 90s, I remembered just how much I wanted one of those BITD. I did a quick search of Craigs List, and there's one just 5 miles away, for $400. Looks like it's got all the bits, too, right down to the yellow Flite saddle. Including the Spinergy Rev-X wheels, those cool-looking CF ones with the 4 pairs of bladed spokes. "Hmmmmm..... I wonder if those things are safe?" I thought.
So I looked it up online. "Oh," I thought, "Not so much." I mean, apparently I'm sitting AT the weight limit they had WHEN NEW, 23 years ago.
Hard pass.

I had a very hard ride yesterday. When I got home from work, it was hot out, I mean, I had the air on in the truck on the way home. 40 minutes later I went out to load the bike. It was 62 degrees and falling fast. Windy as heck too.
I am nearing that point in conditioning where I am completely gassed, gasping for air, but still able to put out watts and keep going. Heart rate hit 170 bpm yesterday and high 160s for extended periods. Fast guy tried to get away, can't let that happen. Felt great!! Hit 32 mph chasing him down.. lol that was fun!! My legs feel conflicted like they want to be sore but feel to good to do that.
Tomorrow, Lenard to Columbiaville. 70 moles 2800 or so feet. Should be a good ride.
