Cassandra of the Latter Days. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Meanwhile, bikes.
Thanks for all your help. You folk have given me so much useful information. Dare I ask indulgence again
How do you work this out? That is even before the stem length which nearly f*cked my last purchase. My MTB bars are huge but my CX feels too narrow. Not sure how you evaluate…?

I had intended to take the MTB out but it is quite squidgy and I figured I cd make more distance on the other bike and test out the brakes, so I figured I’d do a ‘road’. So much for plans …

Meant to pick some new tires up while I was in the shop but I was so excited by the brake news. So in the latest episode of “my brain is a tw*t”, I’m pumping it up every ~7k because if it’s the problem I think it is and I open it up, I will not have a solution other than to call a grumpy wife… 😳

No plan, no destination. Just cycle as far as I cd before the light failed, before I cycled home

Don’t give it ideas! 😳
First - I’m not sure why so much cat content pitches up on my TL. Second - I like all animals and I like cats but they are mad as f*ck.
Sup with the Devil with a very long spoon is all I’m sayin’

Well, I could’ve gone out when the Sun was out. But it’s that time of year where my inability to wake up in the morning clashes with the Darkness.
Only a couple of hours of “light” but better get on with it and make something of what’s left

Off for a walk again; pick up the bike from the LBS. See if my cheap solution worked, or whether more pain is coming down the financial conveyor belt of life.

I kept coming across them and every time I’d think f*ck that is sexy, then I’d realise it was same bike
The bike mechanic at the LBS has done (a similar year) up and it is a sexy as f*ck. Wish I had the time and his skills

They look similar but for the bars TBH
I saw this 26” COTIC Soul in 2016 and it was the most beautiful thing I’d seen outside of the 2009 Orange P7. Swore I’d get one but was too late to get a 26 🥺

Back to LBS tonight. When I tol wife the size of the new job, she said I should buy myself a new bike. However talking to ChatGPT last night, I thought thru’ a couple of cheaper possible solutions to try first.
So here we are walking home. Still travelling faster than the traffic on the Henley Rd.

A high point in my week. Not quite the highest point but we’re in the foothillsof Friday
Wednesday behind me (I calculated I had a 67.5% chance of doing good today); on to Welsh & I really enjoyed my class this pm. Even done my homework. Accidentally been thinking Welsh words for things all day!

Well you’ll all be glad to know I packed dry pants for the commute. I’ll leave you with that image…
In other news, it never rains, it pours. Back brake has stopped working and I’m slight worried I’m staring at few hundred quid. If it’s not one job…The joys of keeping an old bike running.
