Ride-n-Putter, Sunday Oct 28

[Eden]

I might be able to do a little tour guiding on the south side of the Montlake bridge. It's my neck o' the woods so I know the back routes/bike routes pretty well.
I checked with Alex at 20/20 - no mixte's right now, but a good selection of step through frames - there's a really awesome hot pink one....... (actually its a his and hers pair, though the "his" frame had some damage that had to be fixed with welding!)

Hey, wouldn't it be cool to do a "Bike Shop to Bike Shop" tour on Sunday? Recycled Cycles to 20/20?

Maybe if someone didn't have time to ride LogBoom to Reycled to 20/20 and back, they could meet up at one shop and ride to the other?

With coffee stops somewhere along the way, of course!

<Knot ponders the pink step-though... more bike lust!>

Hopefully you can get through the rest of your project without having those idiots be too "helpful." I dunno, but a bike ride can do wonders to quell those homicidal urges. Even if you may not be able to come out with us, maybe you could hop on you bike and ride around the block or something.

I've been feeling pretty pissy myself although for no good reason. Hormonal maybe? Been having a lot of head aches too. Actually more like one long headache for a few days now. Strange, becuase I haven't had too many of those since my early 20's (coincidentally about the time I move out of my parents' home.) I've come close to blowing my top at the people close to me. Not good. I have to ride my bike before I 'splode! Kapowie!

Knot - I love the LBS to LBS ride idea. When ya wanna meet at Log Boom?

Eden - What's the difference betwixt a mixte and a step-through? I thought they were the same thing?

Mixtes are step-throughs but not all step-throughs are mixtes.

A mixte has tubes that run from the head tube back to the rear drop outs. Usually two tubes.

On step throughs, they take a really long top tube and bend it so you can, well, step through the frame rather than hoiking a leg over it.

Hey Knot, did you see the mixte for sale on TE today? Really pretty raleigh and in great shape. *nudge*

I think this is a step beyond enabling

It was already sold by the time I got on the computer. I can console myself that it was a 17 inch and I really need something more like a 19 inch.... but I still feel a pain in my soul...

a biiiiiiiiiig pain in my soul.

I won't spoil the news, Knott just called me from Recycled Cycles.
