So Sandra......how is your new bike working for you? Is she smooth and fun? Any unexpected challenges? Going on breezy rides around the lake? What's the latest?

I spent a lot of time tinkering with Blossom this past weekend. I could not figure out how to get the chain off, but I did eventually get it cleaned while on the bike. I lubed it with Pedro's Dry Lube (for chains), cleaned all of the components and polished the bike with Pedro's Bike Lust. (Pedro's really is great stuff! The LBS owner says he loves the Bike Lust so much, he buys it by the gallon.)

A few weeks back I got a used Brooks Champion Flyer with copper rivets and put on it. I still lack replacing the stem and handlebars. I'm sure I'll need new cables and the front brake needs some work. I'll do all of that at the same time....eventually.

I really enjoy riding this bike. I rode it around the neighborhood circling back while my DH walked. He said "your bike sure is shiny!"

Here she is so far, resting comfortably in the guest bedroom. I hope this picture comes out smaller.

I have the cork grips, just have to wait until I get handlebars. I got the cart in front of the horse.
