So some of you may know and probably most may not know that I am into biking. Thats the one with pedals, not the throttle.
And some may know that I have also been working at a bicycle shop for the past 7-8 months or so. Well it finally rubbed off on me. I broke down and bought a fancy road bike.
Or an actual pic.
It certainly has some go, but the engine could use a little fine tuning. But my average is easily 2+mph faster then my old bike and this is only on the 4 ride or so of the season, so I'm sure I'll get even faster. If only the weather would cooperate so I could actually ride.
Oh, those are the 'test ride' pedals. I have some clipless pedals on there now.
I'm not sure if there are any other bike nerds on the forum, but there you go.
Currently I'm in the process of cleaning up my old Specialized Stumpjumper, replacing parts and getting it fit to return to duty as an actual Mountain Bike instead of a MTB with road tires. Have some wheels on order for it. (Wife is going to hurt me!!!)
