Things I've done for new years: pulled my 10-years-mothballed steel frame and carbon fiber forked #jamis #touringbikes #bike out of storage and dropped it at the bike shop for a complete overhaul. Sad old lady needs everything up to and possibly including her seat replaced but my beloved promised to #rideAcrossMichigan in August and while I'm not promising to do that ride I'll go shares with him on lots of his training rides. I used to bike commute in winter. I actively enjoyed riding cold. I figure if I manage to sort gear and ride a couple of times a month in the next 3 months by the time spring comes it'll be a joy to get in the saddle. (Yes, I'm a masochist, what's your point?)

Got my new #ortlieb back roller classic front panniers for the #trek920 last night, pannier heaven! Now I just need to do a couple local trips and then I can start thinking about a UK trip!

Installed a new handlebar on the touring bike (wider, shorter reach, flared) and I'm in love with the way it feels to ride

Today I got my touring bike back with a larger frame

In October I started wondering what to do with my touring bike – my 52cm Salsa Marrakesh was something that I had to “settle” on when trying to buy a bike during the height of COVID-indoors-insanity and supply chain buffoonery. This fall I finally started to sit down and solve this, and ended up moving all the components to a 54cm frame at Paul’s Bicycle Way of Life in Eugene. I picked it up today, and it’s too cold and icey for me to ride it until I get back from holiday travels, but I am quite excited by it. They said it would take a week and I picked it up in two days, very communicative and helpful all along. I had a number of shops in town ghost me or tell me I was SoL, I was about to start calling up in Portland before I walked in here on a whim.

Going from the “midnight blue” frame to a black frame like this was a bit worrying, but the pop of color from the new BTP woven bar tape makes it really stand out nicely, and I’m not above slapping some MASH SF stickers on it 🚴
