Bristol, love and theft

it's a nice place. it has savage hills. i've been riding a lot, down into the mendips and beyond. there aren't many other people riding fixed here, at all, although i think i've met the 7 that do.

on the shit side, last night my bob jackson was stolen. i don't want to go into details of how, but i suspect that either i failed to lock through the frame (i have never done this before, ever, so somehow doubt it) or they cut through the frame, or they picked the lock. it was a kryptonite. anyway, i'm philosophical about it, as well as pissed off. if you could keep eyes peeled, on the off chance that it surfaces somewhere. perhaps.

dark blue BJ, lime luglining, 58cm, chipped to fuck, sugino 75 cranks, gipiemme black pedals, regal saddle, silver push seatpost, nitto bullhorns, rear wheel black unmarked, front spin tri-spoke, goldfinger lever, campag record brake , pantographed moser stem.

on the positive side, this morning my holdsworth finally turned up, just waiting for campag pista chainset to arrive, then it's built, pics to follow next week. it's like karma, bike stolen, other one arrived.

Love the Mendips, spent loads of time there as a teenager camping and caving. Around Blagdon, Cheddar, Rodney Stoke and Priddy. Great area.
