I need some validation/criticism about my bikes so here's some wordy text and dull pictures to get things going.
The Bowman has been outside once in the last 4 months but gets used 3 times a week on the trainer. Changes include new R8000 shifters, 25C tyres that don't rub or require deflating on the rear before trying to pop the wheel out and try hard bartape that is actually very comfy. Weenie white saddle is very nice out on the roads but is fairly unbearable on the trainer so I've been using the power saddle for longer turbo sessions. Was going to kill all the graphics with some acetone but plans are probably going to change.
The Capo track bike is in bits atm but is getting the Sugino 75 dd's and maybe a new super toughness chain. Looks like HHV will be open shortly so fingers crossed it'll be getting used again soon.
Thoughts of going winter road fixed on the Dart went out the window after getting a dog and spending the first 90 minutes of everyday out in the cold and wet but it continues to be a great commuter. Even got carried away with the few days of sunshine we've had and tried on some gumwalls
So, I had some carefully laid out plans about what I was going to do with my bikes but all that went to shit when this turned up
Now I have 3 very tidy Cannondale frames hanging on the wall and a want to do some tracklocross. I think I know what I want to do next but this was exhausting so I'll write about it later.
