[biggs682]

This has found itself in the " ride me " area of the garage after its couple of months in hibernation , and was called into action as my commuter this afternoon after a visit from the P fairy earlier in the day .

 

[biggs682]

Had its longest ride of 2016 this morning only 25 miles but the bike went well and climbed some local hills with ease i just had to get out of the saddle a couple of times but no great issue , looking forward to getting a few miles done on this superb machine

 

[biggs682]

clocked another 28 miles or there about on this earlier today

Bar tape ?!

Yeah i swapped the bars and stem midway through 2016 for a combo nearer the ideal set up , still needs a new longer fr brake cable

Very nice
*approves*

thank you i used it this afternoon and it felt right straight away

so i will be adding a few miles to it over the next few weeks

 

[biggs682]

After a couple of shakedowns on my daily commutes , i did a nice 12 mile loop earlier this morning and just had a nice run over to the parents making the daily total of 25 miles .

Once you get the right cadence it trundles along nicely at 16 - 18 mph

 

[biggs682]

Back on this one this morning , ready for a few miles over the weekend

so be warned legs and knee's
