I hope the environment appreciates how much a pain building this bike was...

I forced myself to do my taxes, which convinced me that I shouldn't buy fenders or new handlebars yet. There's nothing like reality & fiscal responsibility to ruin my fun.

The replacement 700x28 tire came today... I'd originally ordered 2 700x28, he sent me a 700x28 & a 700x25... They didn't have another 700x28, so had to order the new model of 700x28 which has protech sidewalls or whatever.

So I've just put that tire on... and it's smaller than the old model 700x28. Sizably. The old model 700x25 might have been bigger than it.

*grump*

I guess it's not a huge deal having 2 different sized tires, but I'm irked.

I know for a while I had a smaller tire on the back of my bike. It drove me crazy. eventually I switched it out. Maybe you can put the smaller tire on the front and pretend you are racing?

Umm how hard is it to build a canoe? sounds interesting.
