New break pads, new tires (Armadillo), new handlebar wrap (Cinelli). All I need now is some stamina. |
I can't see well enough in the picture, but if that bike has horizontal drop-outs, you can convert it to a fixed gear. HO-LY MO-LY is that like crack. I got on my friend's new bike at the end of April for all of 7.4 seconds, fell off of it a couple of times while trying to get my feet into the pedal straps and then found myself HOOKED FOR LIFE. I dipped into my rent money two days later and ordered one on sale for $300 at Bikes Direct. Let me tell you, it was the best $300 I've ever spent in my life. Hands down. I ride that sucker to school every day (when school's in session) and a lot of evenings when I get home from work too wound up, I go out and just tool around the neighborhood for a couple of hours. I should post pictures of my new shirt as soon as I get to doing my laundry... it has a picture of a bike and says "PUT THE FUN BETWEEN YOUR LEGS"
