    Dealing with tennis issues all day; people having trouble registering for sectionals, teams defaulting at the last minute on a slightly snowy morning, drama queens, control freaks, etc.

    Finally, someone emailed me to play tennis tomorrow. yeah I just want to play tennis not mess with all the politics!

    I am trying to keep my promise to me today to ride my bike after work! It is hard to stay motivated, it still isn't very warm and it is kind of windy! I am just a weather wimp in my old age!

    I finally saw a real brooks saddle and a lugged steel bike on Sunday. I instantly thought you TE....

    Oooh - just got my new frame!!! Mercian, steel, lugged - blue and green. It is going to be fun to build this up. (My rando bike has a crack in the seat/top tube weld. I will do a 400k on it this weekend, but it really needs to be retired to a permanent spot on the trainer.)

    Pics to come, but not soon. Too much work and not enough time.

    SadieKate was instrumental in the design/color choice.

    We're picking up a 1971 Raleigh Sports for my SO tonight, lugged frame, beautiful detailing, just needs some serious TLC. Really looking forward to working on it with my bike buddy.

    I ate lots of dust this evening at our dirt crits...apparently the dust wasn't as bad this week . Tons of fun & am confused about how i missed a few sections of the trail .

    I'm regretting all of this OT now that I'm in the middle of it. Last night, I had to be the lead too. What a mess they left us. I'm glad I'm off the hook tonight.

    5-speed, upright bars, Huret Alvit derailleur?

    I wish my short-term memory was as good as my memory for 40 year old bike parts.
    Oil is good, grease is better.

    Three speed, not sure of maker yet, upright bars. It's been banged up a bit but other than tires and seat it is 100% original.
