BYE SICKLES!

Check it out I finally got my new bike in the mail! A week ago today actually, I rushed home from my design internship to put it together with the left over day light.
Such a beauty, I was so stoked to have it and put her together the first thing I did was cut into the cross bar paint with my box cutter taking off a zip tie. doh.
I got some tools and some assistance from my nieghbor Doug, and his girls.
Taking a spin to feel how everything is fitting.
Feels sooo good, and even better once I tweaked the seat a touch.
My last frame was alittle small and will fit Kelly perfect. I am giving her my bars and brakes and wheel set from my Iro build as well. Will make for an illy ride. Here I am cutting the new bars into bullhorns for K.P. (she does'nt like drop bars)
Greasing her stem

Tapping up the handle bars to make it oh so cush for my pretty's paws...
Nearly done taping the bars and looking fresh.
One last addition, until she gets my new wheels. and some cages for her pedals
Killer K.P. says it rides perfectly, much easier to handle then her old schwinn! Not to mention about 20lbs lighter. Its for sell by the way.

We are currently training for a triathlon on Sept 6th in CT and are excited to use our new bikes in the race.

So that killer bike trek to Adrian's place clearly did not scare you away from taking this biking thing seriously! Very cool- hope you two invest in a jell butt cushion. Good luck with training!

Yay bikes! I just received mine in the mail last week too and can't wait to get them running again. I'm totally gonna bring one up to cruise the city with you too. Soon soon.
