Winter's over!
 

I know some of you live where there isn't any snow or ice, but we in the Midwest didn't get much this winter, and the 10-day forecast doesn't call for any. So after today's ride, I decided to hell with these studded tires!

God, I love the way Paselas look. :)

That bike rocks. I don't know what my next project will be, but a SS or 1x8 mountain bike with drops is in mind

I got 1x1 drop-barred MB on the brain myself. I'm being haunted by Karate Monkeys unless Vassago comes out of its funk and puts more Fisticuff frames up.

Single digits tonight...

Hell yea man, 50's here in MI today/tomorrow. Perfect weather to break in some new tires.

I bumped up the gearing and went on some rides around the neighborhood. Zippy and comfortable, I couldn't be happier. :thumb:

Are those 650cc wheels? They look tiny.

I'm happy for you, but for some reason it didn't become winter until March here. I love snow. But c'mon, nature.

I guess Hawaii is in winter season (aka rain a metric ****ton with thunder, lightning and flood warnings) right now?

I don't know, I don't understand this foreign place.

The forecast is saying 56° and sunny for today. :D

We literally had no snow here this year aside from a couple of dustings that melted almost as quickly as they fell.So strange. Tomorrow is looking like 65° but with high winds - which means I may not get to spend as much time on the bike as I'd like - but I'll take it.

oh yeah. its gonna be beautiful this week. it has been weird not getting any snow up here. but i bet there will be snow in like april though in the NE area

They're regular MTB/559mm rims, but they do look funny when you don't have 2" tires on them. Here's a close-up:

I gotta agree that I wish we'd had more snow. I love driving my Subaru in it, and I almost never got a chance to put those studded tires to the test. :(

My winter fixie took a beating this year, rusty like a mofo. I intend to strip it down and apply a polyurea spray on coating (normally used for truck bedliners :D ) not for the weight weenies.

nearly all my bikes need a teardown and de/regreasing pretty freaking badly. there's dirt and grime everywhere. but spring is so wet i don't want to do it yet.
