just got done in the basementbad photos
just like me... the bike looks cooler than the photos tell
spent some time in the basement working on the bike tonight
signed up for the Coppi's cyclocross race today
and well... I figured that I should follow that notion of going from the drops to the risers
putting my body in a more native position
there was a while where I wanted to try the midge bars
then I felt pretty satisfied with the salsa bell lap bars
but I think honestly I will be more pleased with the position more similar to the mountain bike
flat or riser bars
since the beginning of cross I was hung up on notion of having my cyclocross bik
e look like a cross bikeI feared that an alteration like this would make my bike look like a hybrid
my brother is stoked on cross
but if there were one thing that my brother is more stoked about than cross it would be... no... not rowing
it would be croquet
a few years back my brother and I got pretty competitive in our croquet playing
I was using a classic golf putt for my swing
while my brother marc was doing it between the legs like a third grader bowling swing
we played we played and we played
then we discussed Shaq on the freethrow line
how Shaq would rather miss than make it while doing the geeky Rick Barry
well...
I play croquet between the legs
and I am going to the riser bars on the cross bike
as far as basketball goes... I would miss either way... I suck at basketball
