Black Friday Built

(4 Jan 2009) I've completed the build of my new Tikit - with derailleur for the moment. It's much the same as before, just all in black. I did take the opportunity to put on a SRAM trigger shifter since I never really liked the gripshift changer.

I also got Bike Friday to pack in some Primo Comets - as a change out from the Schwalbe Marathons, they really fly. Took the bike out for a Sunday morning spin with the BBTA. We wound it up over the last 5 km to see who had it. Most of the others were gone pretty quickly, but it took a bit of effort (and the 60x12) over the crest of the last hill for me to drop the last young gun and press on to the coffee stop.
