it’s alive!

But here’s a teaser photo as I still have to:

• dial the shifting in. The RD has this weird jerking motion in the smaller cogs that I swear it didn’t have when I was rushing this together at 11pm last night. I also think I cut the chain too short, only adding 2 links not 4.
  
• sort the levers, shifter, bars out. They all need some dialling in position wise.
  
  

Only had two sub 20 minute journeys on it today but it’s mega fun, the big tyres and risers, and I guess the general short and tight-ish geo of the bike make it feel really playful, like you wanna jump off curbs and do other shit i don’t possess the skill set for. I couldn’t resist riding a bit of the perimeter trail path in Dulwich Park, nanny state be damned, it was fun.

Funnily enough, as I was riding home from work today, I rode past the only other flat bar pink Kepler that I’ve ever come across, on the same day as my pink flat bar Kepler’s inaugural journey. The universe works in mysterious ways.
