Hey I moved from a small little beach town in Florida....I just love being in a big city but still feeling like I live in a neighborhood (Wicker Park). Why did you hate it??
Heya Chris, thanks for checking in. The jersey in my avi is two or three years old. They've gotten much better looking - even my racing snob friends agree. I might actually have to get a pair of white assos shorts to go with this year's version... but I'm not sure I'm ready for such a big step. Tour de Cure is the primary fundraiser for the ADA and the jerseys are open to anyone that rides the event and raises a certain level of donations ($500 in 08). HowEVER, I'm also working on a new program that might have a jersey associated with it... check back with me later this fall!
i ride an 07 giant bowery fixed. it's decent, light and snappy. but i need to do some upgrading. and i really want to do a build this winter... something i'll only break out in the sunlight.
ah, i see. thanks. the bare bars are because a friend of mine wants to trade stems so, i just didn't put bar tape on. its been about four or five months since he said that, and he still hasn't come for it. so i guess i should do something about that. but i ride with gloves, so it all works out. i live in lincoln park near depaul, where i go to school. what about you? sweet icecream themed bike, btw.
Well that's cool. It's not terribly difficult to build wheels, but the learning process can be taxing, and the practicing process can be frustrating for sure. It'll really take some time to really learn everything, especially since I've only been cycling for a year and counting.
I'm riding a 1990-something Raleigh Technium frameset with all new components. New BB, crankset, stock bars chopped and flipped, hand built wheels by myself (velocity deep v's), fenders, surly hubs, blah blah. I'll post a photo at some point. I'm also working on a new geared project for the winter. Do you ride the Spumoni bike around, or do you have a beater bike?
