Cleaned up my winter commuter just in time for 4" more snow to fall. Cleared the drive last night, time to go cruise with a buddy today. It has snowed a lot this year.

I thought this bar tape might look good but, with the black saddle, it doesn't: I'm going to switch it to https://www.lizardskins.com/product-details?h=dsp-bar-tape-v2-carbon-camo&c=bar_tape&t=dsp_camo&v=0 But, I also got my fit done on that bike. And it is good. Lower saddle, further back, adjust cleats, lower stem, longer stem (100->120). Better in every way. Here is a more aesthetically pleasing bike. And some cartoon cleavage:

I bought wheels for "cross bike as a winter road bike" for some reason seems like pretty nice wheels, not sure about the tubeless rim strip thing, it was kind of annoying to get on and then made the tires pretty tight too. valve nuts are also kind of not ideal and could have a wider flat section or at least a little curved washer to sit on the rim because it's pretty narrow there. DT 350 hubs but only 18t ratchet. The fenders I assume are more than cancelling out any aerodynamic gains. They sound neat though. jamal fucked around with this message at 15:08 on Mar 23, 2023 |

The new bike is here, and professionally assembled! Just a couple of cosmetic issues with the seat and one of the pedals; other than that, it's pretty much what I was expecting: a cool, retro-ish chro-moly framed single speed that I can convert to a knee-busting fixie if I so choose.  I rode it around the block a few times, which was fun because I live on a road with a decent incline. But, I had to get back to work, and we have rain for the next... [checks phone]... forever. Of course. It's like when I buy a telescope. Still, this is a nice bike. The seat is comfortable in street clothes so far, but I haven't really tested it out yet. I probably won't be doing any centuries on this, but I like it. I love that blue and yellow. The only thing I don't care for are the grips. I'm going to look for something different, maybe with tassels, maybe without.

After 6 months of commuting on a big stepthru ebike I wanted something to ride on the dirt trails around here. Of course, since I've picked this up a month ago it hasn't stopped raining for more than a day so I've just been cruising the levees.  Biggest surprise is that my wife (notorious bicycle hater) has been riding it. I kind of suspect there will be a match pair in the garage soon.

On that note, here's a story in three parts: Wifi Toilet posted:Welp, apparently I'm in full on midlife crisis mode cuz I can't stop thinking about building a dumb fixie bike. I guess I can always stick it on the wall and call it art after never riding it? Hoopy Frood posted:I'm in exactly the same situation, but I want a Time Trial bike. We don't even have much of a time trial club scene over here, but I don't seem to be able to let it go. Hoopy Frood posted:Does the full aero position on a TT bike typically feel very sketchy at first and take some time to get used to when you first try it, or am I a big old dumb scaredy-cat doofus? I still have no need for this bike and no idea what I'm doing when I ride it, I had to wait 6 months for the right sized frame to arrive here in Australia, and I backed out of building it myself and got my local shop to build it for me, but here's my new Trinity:  Much better pics from my excellent bike shop here in Melbourne: https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjuTUnyxZa/

Hoopy Frood posted:On that note, here's a story in three parts: That's wild! First, I love the bike. But, this is the second time today I've seen one of those. I did a 30-mile ride today (no thanks to some sketchy navigation from Wahoo), and when I was packing things up to drive home after getting off the trails, a runner came jogging off the same trail and walked toward his SUV. On the back, locked up as tightly as I guess you can with a good bike carrier, was one of these bikes. I don't know if the color was the same, but it was definitely this model. I'm guessing he's a triathlete. I wonder where he's going to go swimming? (in the Midwest of the US, even though today was warm, the water in any nearby lake is still far too cold for a comfortable or safe swim.

I've got four bikes but these are the fun ones: 2011 Santa Cruz Heckler  2015? Surly Pugsly  1998 Specialized Allez comp  The last one I bought last Fall, having belonged to a friend's dad's friend, so I got it cheap but needed a bunch of parts replaced which gave me a reason to get to know the owner of my new local bike shop since the one I used for a decade shut down a few years ago. Had never done road biking before and that photo was taken on a 43 mile trek around D.C. which is the farthest I've ever gone by a wide margin and boy was I dying the last 8 or so miles that are all uphill heading North from D.C.
