So I picked up a black John Deere "racer". It's destined to be a fixed gear road bike now that my Trek Cruiser frame is sporting big fat whitewalls on coaster hubs. I've actually entered it in the Fixed Gear Gallery Open Design contest, in which I will no doubt get an absolute spanking. Whatever, the entry fee is for a good cause. I'm presently on the hunt for a decent stem and a seatpost, and debating color schemes. At the same time the old Schwinn will finally see some action via some transplanted parts from the Deere. Getting sort of excited for Le Tour this year. I still wish Astana was allowed to ride, but I'm squarely behind Slipstream, not that they stand a chance.
This weekend will find me riding in the Berkshires I'm looking forward to that, it's gorgeous out there.
You should add some pictures, dude!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to take some when I finally get going on my rebuild of my old Diamondback.
I just ordered about $220 worth of stuff from JensonUSA!
I posted an entry on my blog about it...
