I'm sure many would, happy to pay $100 for the frame, size unknown..

New seat post on the commuter. New bar on the MTB.

Size 54, but the effective TT is only 53.5

Rode Bike #14 today, rainy and uncomfortable. I did not achieve my 100 km target

Rode to and from work, got very wet on the way home (wasn't actually today, but yesterday).

Fitted mudguards to bike #14. With bike #16 up and running, #14 is now a dedicated commuter

damn, wont work for me.

on that note, i disassembled it... it now looks like a pair of wheels and some purple bolts.
i also rebuilt my red shifter, no more rattly lever and it matches my S900 lever now. OCD approved!

Fitted a new selle smp hybrid, it feels a little wide in the front for me but I wanted something for the longer rides.

swapped my crank from 5700 to 6700 today, now the drivetrain is all ultegra. new bars coming in this week (fingers crossed..)

Moved the old Graecross beast on, by way of Bicycles for Humanity. Procured for $50 off a departing backpacker, it was used as remote base transportation on visits up to the BF's place at the edge of civilization, and was a total rough diamond for its general age and provenance. Now the fella & I have met halfway it has mainly been an apartment block for spiders in the garage. It was an oddly sad farewell but will hopefully do someone, somewhere a bit of good.

Then bought a set of mudguards for winterising the roadie on the way home

New sprocket for the commuter

Put in a new tube, all by myself. First time.

Golf clap I have done it at home under controlled conditions; yet to discover how I would go out in the field ...

Welp, I fitted the mudguards I bought yesterday and aww maww gaww, it was the actual fire-truckin' worst job ever. Should have just thrown $ at it. They look good though and they'd better be worth it!!

New chainrings, cassette, chain and jockey wheels, now just need the rain the stop....

Re-fitted the 3T handlebar and the K-Edge mount.



Anyone want to swap the handlebar? It is too much Red for me.
I need 40 C-C, 3T equivalent only. Thanks

Yesterday I began turning my C5 into Luke Skywalker*. FD cable refused to thread, so gave up, and moved to transferring the 105 on the Fuji. Will do more on them tonight, and hopefully finish by thursday.

Fitted a new renthal duo stem on the MTB.

You put duct tape* on your C5 ?

Thanks. This is probably the next thing to this bike though the compy ride to the top may not be beneficial as I rarely use that position

Yes, Oppy C5. This now means it could be the only SRAM Force C5 in existence.

And yes, I've used tape on it a couple of times. I've also cut its hand off, watched it kiss its sister, and fight its dad for identity.

Oh, and:

Well, it is raining and won't be able to ride as planned.

Worst thing is, I tried fitting the DA Rear Wheel to see how it looks like on Bike #16. Oooh, please help, I can't afford the front wheel at the moment. The silver decal on the C50 works well with the Ti frame imo.
