When in Rome....

No.. I haven't gone and moved again.. :D

It finally happened.. I went and got a road bike. While some may consider this the selling of my soul (you know who you are..) I just look at is adaptation. I'm not getting out onto the dirt as much as I'd like, and riding the mt. singlespeed on the pavement isn't much fun.

My buddy Tom picked up this old Giant Kronos from one of his neighbors. He couldn't use it, so he passed the deal along to me.



So far I've removed all the reflectors, swapped out the old Gel seat, and removed the middle chainring and front deraillure. So it's currently a 1 by 7. Eventually I'll swap the rear hub for a flip-flop and make it a fixed gear with a front brake... I'll try to post up my progress....

That's all for now....
