bicycle conversions part 2
As promised, here is a photo of the Salsa built up for my brevet rides. I haven’t cut the fender stays yet, but it is all wired and shiny looking. It feels extremely comfortable thanks to my fitting at Sammamish Valley.
I need to put some miles in this week to make sure everything is solid.
There is the 600k on the 7th and I’m getting antsy for it. Mark Thomas put up a ride report and it sounds beautiful. It is hard to imagine going up the passes we just did in reverse. I remember miles and miles of pretty steep downhills.
Whitey is excited that I am going to be so close to Mt. Rainier. One of these days I’ll need to learn how to take photos from my eyeballs. Cameras are just too much work.

You are still making me the proud “Daddy”. I love your site and you.

600k! I just rode a moderately paced 43 mi and I feel like ass. My hat is off to you. The bike looks great.

Both look supah-snazzy. I imagine that the Casserole will work out quite well for you. Has the float on those Eggbeaters bothered you at all?

K – Float is a pretty individual issue from what I gather. For me, they help keep my legs comfortable over the distance, for others, they could lead to knee issues. They are cheap enough to warrant giving them a shot though. My favorite thing about them is the lack of maintenance.

lookin good!
see ya on the 600 – that’ll be an overwhelming ride that words probably won’t describe completely.
i’m calling best buy about those eyeball cameras, they sound promising.
