So I'll quit complaining about 96 degrees...
New Bike is here and put together, but only ridden for one minute in sandals around the yard to get the seat adjustment. I can't believe how comfortable and natural it felt! But then I had to take her back in the house and put on the frame pump and the computer and the bottle cage and the little bag under the seat. The computer...why can't they just write simple instructions? Instead of just pictures that are impossible to decipher. And one mount was too big, even with both shims, and the other was way too small. And I'm not happy with how the transmitter is mounted on the fork- the fork tapers, what's to keep it from just slipping down??? But I can't get it super tight. The bike is _so_ light! Or was, until I put stuff on her. And the rear tube blew, right by the valve stem, when it was just sitting there! What's up with that? Luckily, I had another tube someone sold me for a different bike that was wrong for that bike, but just laying around, but it was ok for New Bike. Hopefully I'll get to ride today, but a friend at work wants to go see the penguin movie, and today's the only day...
