My new-to-me ECD. Slathered in 3 fresh coats of Root Beer Brown Metallic and all that lush gold...
Seat's gotta go and just waiting for my 40mm Sunline stem...then it's ready.
I'll DH the crap out of it, but it's not like I am aiming for the World Cup or anything. I live in the Midwest, so technically this bike is too much. But we build stupid stuff, so it will get used to it's fullest, and broken accordingly! As for the singlecrown, I have NO lack of faith in it's longevity, and I won't even go into the abuse it's already been put through... but I just LOVE Boxxer WCs!
That might actually be an issue...I'm having headset problems, hoping it's not a bent steerer tube, but it worked fine in my Khyber. The headset is an odd "GUB" brand off Ebay...gonna swap it out today and see what's up... Fingers are crossed...
Yay! It's the headset! It's just a bit too thick inside the bottom ring, steerer tube is rubbing the headset housing... a little millwork tomorrow and I'll be good! Still wouldn't mind a Boxxer tho....
That's actually kinda what I was thinking...But wanna head straight to Whistler(so I don't get all cracked up on the way there), then maybe stuff like Post Canyon in OR, Your playground, and was even pondering hittin up the Freedom Riders in WY. I wouldn't mind checking out the Loops a bit, but I'm too old for road gaps and don't really feel my skill level makes me worthy of setting foot on that soil!
