first sortie of the season

April 11th, 2009 § 0

i took the MKS pedals i picked up from the Old Spokes Home and put them on the univega.  it really looks good now with the brown brooks saddle.  put in about 2 varied hours just riding easy around town.  like the 46×19 for now.  i have a front fender on there that my dad installed back in the day.  it has a trick fender flap made out of some sheets of rubber he found somewhere.  i’ve cut the fender stays a bit too short and the rubber drags on the tire and even binds up occasionally—a little sketch.  I just need to buy a couple of new stays.

it was great to be out and nice to have a bit of time to post.  looking for it to be a good year on the bike.  been out to play bike polo already once this year, wednesdays on the waterfront roller hockey rink behind the skatepark.  write to bikepolo@mac.com to get on the mailing list.
