platforms!

today will be my first mtb race where i am prefering platform pedals. im stoked to not have to change for my race. super d at rim nordic!

friction!

since ive been riding the sojourn with friction shifters(barcons) lately ive come to favor them over index.
i had a pair or new levers and used shifters sitting around so i figured, why not? all i had to buy where the lever boots and even then i made an of topic bet and won those.
total cost: none

there a chainring bolts as spacers on the shifters as my bolts were too long and i need to shorten them or find shorter ones.

sunday ride

my brothers just finishing up with his kemo and got the okay from the doctors to ride.

we went out to the san deguito river trail and cruised around.

he flatted on the way back, and by the time we got home i had a flat also.

Victoria Cycles

Victoria Cycles had a booth up at the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show and i spotted this fine bike.

The bike is a mens medium or a 23" top tube with about a 16" seat tube because of the curved top tube. x

The head angle is 71 degrees and the seat tube is about 72 or 73.
It is columbus zona with 4130 aircraft tubing on the top tube and seat stays.
The frame is just over five pounds and the fork is about 1.5 lb
After spending a weekend drooling over the bike i thought about having one of my own built. So as soon as i contacted Dave of Victoria i sent out a deposit.
