• All done except bar tape. I was worried that the brake setup would be cack with the dodgy routing, single pivot calipers, and dessicated pads, but it surpassed expectations.

    165 cranks and big gears make for tired legs though.

    And take some better pics after we move on Tuesday.

    I like the mismatched tyre, it says: "While you were posting on Instagram, I was studying rolling resistance and aerodynamics. I will leave you humbled, bloodied and utterly crushed. Do not seek my advice, bear witness to my suplesse."

  • PS If you want to factor-in crank length to your gearing calculations, you need to get to grips with Gain Ratio.
