partially made up via email at work. started shopping for taint-friendly saddles for the Fuji League. the stock saddle is as cushy as a cruiser and causes "numb-nutz" after about 1/2hr. http://www.nashbar.com/bikes/Product...2_10000_202614 This Fuji League? I actually kind of like this bike. You change anything else yet? I'd change the bars immediately and I figure that chain would go too. |
that's the one. love it.
it's stock for now. the saddle is going first. i'll thrash the chain and have something less hideous on hand. the tires will also go prior to my spring rollout. the bars are very comfortable for me, so they can stay. biggest surprise was the Sugino rear cog setup, having the cog splined on instead of threaded, using a BBT-9 tool for the lockring. |
Today, got a soggy road ride in. This weather is wearing thin on me.
|
tried shimano di2 (ultegra) at alameda bike on a 56 roubaix that fit me oh so perfect. im in love.

I think you're confusing it with the opposite...

Been raining all day here. Currently raining sideways. Every inch of road surface is covered in leaves. I'm not really sure how I made it home without torn jeans, bloody hands and bent bars tonight.

Today I rode about 50 miles round-trip, worked, had a long dinner/discussion with an awesome friend. Over the course of dinner I realized some important things about myself. Now to do something about them...

I think I pushed it too hard on this ride: http://app.strava.com/rides/2340187 after -being in Tokyo for two weeks, not exercising, eating and drinking a ton, gaining weight, not sleeping -flying home -not resting -still not getting enough sleep -did I mention drinking? -got dropped twice after taking my pull at the front of the group (around 25ish mph) and not being able to latch onto the back of a 12 person train. Dying a thousand deaths just to hang on during the sprint segments. I'm usually totally find during these. All in all, I think my immune system said **** you and now im congested in the face, but my nose is running. Ugh. |
Rode my first 500m Goldsprint. I nearly blacked out.
I'm so out of shape. |

Turned out to be a 2005 Trek Madone SL 5.2 Not too shabby at all. |
Today I need to build four more wheels. My hands still haven't recovered from the five I built on Tuesday. Looking forward to feeling like an arthritic old woman by the end of the day.

ever try the fingerless compression gloves? an Aussie guy i know makes spare money braiding traditional drover's whips (requires hours of small manipulations under tension) and they were a lifesaver.
