Been a while since I've updated... and a while since I've ridden! Managed to break a couple of ribs while on a night ride 4 weeks ago and get pneumonia as a result on not being able to get rid of an existing cold off my lungs. I really don't recommend this combination to anyone!
Since I've been off the bike for a while, I've been able to spend a bit of time tinkering before running out of breath. Managed to knock up a bike rack for under $20 I was pretty stoked with and also some touch to the aesthetic bits on my bike I wasn't happy with. Firstly while I don't mind the Giant TCX-1 wheels, the graphics are hideous! As the graphics are painted and baked on (I think?), I found a black adhesive PVC... Pretty much a HD book covering and blanked them out. Pretty stoked with how it came out, you really cant see them until the light catches them and that looks alright due to the shape cut. Decided to leave the silver near the valve but might change my mind later! Took a while to get the template right but well worth it Also removed the fork decals to clean it up a bit.
I've changed over to a Fizik Antares saddle which I find super comfortable and a High Roller 2 on the back due to the moistness in Tassie at the moment. I also have an Absolute Black Spiderless 34T ring in the mail that I'll chuck on this week!
And here is the wall rack I knocked up!
