Errand Bike Update

In the last week or two I've swapped some parts on my errand bike... getting rid of the drop bars (On-One Midge bars), changing the gearing, and installing knobbies for winter (Kenda Nevegals).

I figured this bike would benefit from a more relaxed riding position, so I switched the bars to the Surly Open Bar.  A few weeks ago I bought a pair of Titec H-Bars for the PMP, so the Surly bars were just sitting around unused.

I got out for a quick sunset ride this evening.  I have to admit part of me likes this unseasonably warm weather.  It got up to 52 degrees in Mpls today... crazy.  A great day for a ride, albeit rather windy.

Next weekend I hope to have pictures of a DIY framebuilding jig, depending on how this week goes.  And if this warm weather continues, I might just order up some flux and rod, spark up the torch, and do some brazing out in the backyard.  My guess is that winter will return soon, likely with a vengeance.


Stopping is half the fun...
