Random Stuff

Seventy five degrees when I got home from work, today! Supposed to rain and stay in th 50s, tomorrow, though. Springtime!


I need to get a few things done before I leave for Fruita, on Friday. For instance, I would like to get the TREK built up, and take it with me. I also need to pack. I'll do one tonight, one tomorrow night, I guess.


I put a couple of layers of shellac on the Clubman's leather bar wrap, on Sunday.
(Click for big.)


I'm liking the look of it. Hopefully, the shellac will add a degree of waterproofness and allow the leather to last longer, even with sweaty and/or rainy rides.



I also put some home-cut bullhorns on the F1. I had taken the original bullhorns off, and sold them, then replaced them with a Noah's Arc. I didn't like the Noah's Arc, as it put my hands too close to my knees when climbing, so I went back to this.

Unfortunately, this bar wouldn't fit through the clamp on the original stem, so I had to swap out this Technomic. I'm not sure I like it, but I'll ride it a bit and find out.

I saw 11 bikes, on the way home, today. Further proof that Spring is here.

  1. Apparently early spring is shellac time! Nice job, that tape looks excellent. I also noticed a lot of other cyclists today.

Sorry about the word verification. I know you hate it...I hate it, too. But, the Spambots are suddenly coming out of the woodwork, and this is my first line of defense against them.

So, all humans are welcome. Spambots can go to Hell.
