New Projects...

I hope to spend some time this weekend working on a couple new projects.  I'd call them spring projects, but unfortunately I think that would just be wishful thinking.  I love spending time working on bikes, which is why I'm a chronic project seeker - always changing set-ups and configuring new bikes.  I'm looking forward to a couple beers, some music, and time with bikes and tools...

The first project is disassembling my Fat Front MTB and turning it into a beater/ice bike.  I've always really liked the Fisher GED frame due to its long (25.7") effective top tube length, but I'm baffled by the fact that frame designers put such short head tubes on XL frames.  With a "normal" mtb stem on the GED, the bars end up further below the seat than I'd like... so this frame will be getting a high-rise stem and riser bars.

The other project will be the replacement for the GED - a new mountain bike built for singletrack.  More posts on this one later.  Here's a hint...

We had a glimpse of spring a couple weeks ago... multiple days with sunny skies and temps in the 40s and 50s.  Then it snowed 14+ inches last weekend.

I'm ready for clear bike paths and dry singletrack...
