That's it, she is finished. Here she is in her finished state, complete with
Carradice Pendle saddle bag and
Tubus Cargo rack. A few issues (needed a 116 link chain and I had bought a 114 link chain, front mudguard was a real pain). I have ridden about 100 miles so far and apart from squealing back brakes, everything feels good. Planning on a 100 miles tomorrow, lunch in saddle bag, might even wear a pair of corduroys. The girls have christened her Choccoccino instead of Truckaccino.
Not had much time over the previous couple of weeks and Carol has been away, so not much cycling. A couple of weekends ago, I did the 100 mile
DCC tourist trial via Crieff, Lochearnhead, Callendar, Stirling and Alloa. I have reverted back to the clipless pedals now too, it is a lot of effort cycling 100 hilly miles with flat pedals, so the Speedplay Frogs are back on. Looking forward to some good cycling tomorrow:
Song for today:
