right then people, I need to get this sucker built up.
First I need to strip the Kepler for parts and get it out the way, that’s on the list for today.
Then I reckon I’m gonna need to get the bb shell faced, steerer cut and bung fitted by a shop as I don’t have the tools for that stuff.
The rest I should be able to do at home with some patience and careful rearranging of furniture to make working on a bike hung up on a shit stand in a small flat less of a headache.
I think I am going to put the old grx/105 drop bar setup on this bike and chuck all the flat bar shit in the spares. Anyone reading this have any flared 42c grav bars? Black or silver, nothing fancy, just testing fit.
Or on an absolute random and peculiar curveball - just because I reckon small returns to medieval practices of a trade and skill based economy would go some way to brightening up our increasingly mundane and alienating world - if anyone with good bike mech skills n equipment wants to do a little skill/time share: I can teach you some sourdough/viennoiserie/patisserie tricks I’ve learnt over the years and you can teach me how to not destroy a bit of metal I’ve just spent a lot of money the HIT ME UP
idk im bored.
