Today I am making turkey chili. Also walking my dog since it is finally hovering around the freezing mark. |
I'm suffering from severe upgrade-itis due to too much bike staring and not enough riding.
|
Today I made machaca con huevos and ate way too big of a breakfast.

My road ride was enjoyable. I was going to ride either way, but driving and paying to ride (race) isn't my cup of tea if it will be dangerous or not fun.

I need in on that support group :( I have way too many builds floating around in my head that aren't ever going to happen.
a new 17 degree stem bullhorns with no drop and I better get some cooler brake levers while I'm at it; when in reality my current handlebar setup is perfectly fine. Nevermind the fact that I'm already planning to buy/bought: new cranks and BB (installed this weekend) Phils x Archetypes SSM Concor saddle |
I have about 4 mountain bike builds and maybe 6 road builds that are all probably feasible, but would absolutely kill my wallet.

Speaking of the rainy rides today, my arch nemesis, slippery crosswalk paint, tried to pull one on me as I was making a corner downhill.

Got a package in the mail earlier than expected, so I set up the new cockpit for the Shogun -- Nitto quill and B115. Need to decide on bartape now.

I decided last night that for aesthetic reasons, my stem should be perfectly horizontal. Which means I need:

I see nothing wrong with this. 25.4 or 31.8 bullhorns?

26mm currently, I should switch to 31.8.

|
Swapped out some modernish 105 calipers with some period correct DA ones on one of my bikes; ended up adding weight. The trickle down effect is real.
|
Put in an order for parts to Towniefy the sqrls mixte.
Gonna be sweet. Even sweeter at under a hundo. |
Hating my life right now, brought gp4ks out to Arizona and I'm just being destroyed by goatheads. Rode maybe sixty miles and had two flats so far.
