Well as mentioned in the last post no ride Sunday! this was to help get over the little crunch last Sunday, as I have been suffering a bit with the ribs.
What did happen is Richard came over with his old Giant full sus with a bag of bits that needed fitting, now normally fitting bits to bikes is straight forward, but when you mix old and new, things are never that straight forward as we discovered 5 hours later and only a new bottom bracket, some very posh XT shifters and some "Peaty"(bit flash but comfy) lock on grips later, we discovered that new rear and front derailleur's do not mix with 9 year old bike design.
So Richard is now looking for "bits that fit" and then we can give it another go.
Hopefully I will be back out Sunday as I have managed to commute daily with only slight discomfort (usual of bad drivers, incontinent dogs and deaf school kids) so fitness has been kept up.
Here's looking forward to Sunday.
