What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[takai]

Finished the Ragley and took it for a ride with my 6yo on his Polygon.

Failed on bartape colour choice. Then the strap on my saddle bag tore off... fail.


Started the Spitfire:

Realised that it needs a 31.6 seatpost and my old one is 30.9. Also realised that FTR have sent me a non-iSpec shifter when i ordered an iSpec shifter... Undecided on the splashes of red or whether ill just make it entirely stealth.

That seat looks like some sort of medievil torture device.

Seatpost problem could be worse- nothing a shim won't sort, could be a 31.6 post into a 30.9 hole

...and go stealth, always all black.

 

[takai]

Yeah, the problem is that everyone seems to be out of 31.6-30.9 shims, its like the one most popular size and everyone is out of stock.

Did find a local shop who are selling the same seatpost for $30, so thats not much more than the shim anyway and i can keep the 30.9 for the Polygon.

Also yeah, planning on digging around and seeing if i can find another black stem. I used my other black stem on the Ragley.

This. Did some colour matching on my bike, liked it for a bit.

Now I realise it is all wrong and should've been stealth all along

If you only did a bit of colour matching then you arent old enough.

What's on the back of the seat @takai? She's a funky looking machine.

InterLock integrated cable lock. Just a convenient little lock that I have with me at all times.

You need to put in more effort with your images.

At least he's using a real camera

Posers on Instagram don't humble?

This is the sort of shit that happens when you switch from 26 to 29 boost.

The pics didn't even turn out any good. By the time I realised (there was beer involved) that the sheet wasn't wide enough to get it right, I couldn't be arsed fixing it.

Yes, I had bought 2 sheets for the purpose but could only be arsed getting one out.

The beer was shit too so I'm just nailing life at the moment.

A severe case of fuck it Friday!

Last week, this puppy fell on my local. I tried in vain to move it. Yesterday, I discovered nearby a 2m x 150mm diameter dead straight branch someone had chainsawed, dunno why. Anyway, it made a perfect lever. Trail now clear.
