Finally got around to pulling down my dead Fuji and building the new bike - just chain, taping the bars and fitting the wiring and finally adjusting the position which I'll probably do over the next week. Not sure if it's my dream frame but pretty happy with how it's looking.

How's the clavicle?

Dalai

Clavicle has healed as is finally the frozen shoulder though the later is still amazingly weak... Always a dull ache which maybe something I'll just have to live with! Thanks for asking by the way.

Still haven't got back racing in any form, just been enjoying riding again! In fact rode a 489km 4 day back country credit card tour on the CX bike with a few mates a couple of weeks ago. This included a number of very rough 4WD tracks in the Victorian alpine area and the shoulder handled it surprisingly well!

Bike rebuild is me realizing it is about time to get the skinsuit on again.

That's gonna be the hardest part with a bum shoulder

This is pretty much what I looked like when I put on a skinsuit for the first time:

You should see what the swim skins were like before they tightened up the rules on those. Literally a ten to fifteen minute, 1-2 helpers required process. And a few people killed suits poking holes with long fingernails. Those were pretty dumb times.

Hahaahahahaha

Expensive too, since $700ish suits were shot after 1-3 meets. Silly.

The L96 is BEAUTIFUL.

Dalai

Remember that stage when I finally started putting on t-shirts and cycling jerseys again after a few months of buttoned shirts!

Shoulder will handle the skinsuit now. Just have held off racing not for the fear of crashing, but the fear of not being able to do any exercise for a couple of months again!

Dream frame is any I don't own at this time. Material is mostly irrelevant. As much as I would lust over say the Look (would need to be a different paint scheme though) or FES etc I lust equally for an Affinity Kissena...
