New roadie ride for me

[marzjennings]

So after a couple years of riding single speed I'm hooked, there are no hills around here and so I haven't miss the gears. So I figured I'd buy a purpose build single speeder.

Plan to take it out for its first 50 tomorrow to see how it rides.

Picture failed to link the first time, second attempt.

I ride freeway (motorway) overpasses and multi-floor garages to get some elevation change. It is very sad.

I did look at the fuji before I got the felt curbside but the price was too high.

Oh I will, I will. But just one spacer at a time so my back can adjust.

I got it for almost a third off, otherwise it would have been out of my price range.
