Ellie's about to pop...
ellie's about to pop, and I'm about to burst with nervous energy. Everyone whose had kids likes to remind you that as soon as the little one arrives your sleep will go out the window. No-one ever says that in the last weeks of waiting your sleep goes out the window cause your so excited you keep on waking up in the middle of the night to see if anything has happened.
Bikewise I'm also excited. I've just got myself a pair of Bontrager Switchblade XC rigid forks with carbon lowers so I can ressurrect my trusty Norco Fireball as the commuter bike from hell. And I'm hoping the new damper cartridge I need for my Scalpel arrives soon. I've also recently acquired a pair of Velocity Blade wheels for my roadie (1410g for the pair!) which has made it all the nicer to ride. And to top if off took a 06 Cannondale Chase 3 out of stock, hooked a Juicy 5 running a 203mm rotor to the front wheel and have been playing at riding like a 15 year old.
However in the spirit of moderation I sold my Eastern Elemnt 20" BMX (I'm 6'2", it's impossible for me to look cool on anything with wheels smaller than 26", and even then I look all long and gangly).
Love you all,
Bert
