Out with the pup. There's snow, frost and ice everywhere. There's also a bloke out washing his car on his driveway.
You must really hate your life if that's what a Sunday morning in winter means to you.
Pic of the pup for good vibes!

Today will be spent fixing a new bionics kit to Sally. An Xmas pressie from my youngest after I put mine on her bike last year so she could use it to commute to work. Thinking of switching the tyres to a nice gravel style as well for a bit of comfort.

Cold and windy dog walk with added hairy coo's at Gleniffer Braes today. Sadly the view was hampered by the mist over the city.

Avalanche brakes swapped from cantilever to V. Only decision now is if I leave it as a 3X5 or swap out the drivetrain.

In my drift more and more to becoming a 'roadie' I have purchased an old GPS cycle computer. Totally not needed but at a winning bid of 99p I can't go wrong even if it's garbage!

Rear mech fully adjusted and set on the old Fag Coupon Flyer. Was also gonna do the front but the cable end has frayed and it will need a new one so just the two large chainrings in operation.

The only new bike I have owned was returned to me the other week. A crappy mid 90's mountain bike. Sentimental value and my hoarding gene mean that I need to get it road worthy again and in use. Only decision is stay original or upgrade certain parts.
