shimano christmas

It was a Shimano Christmas for Helix. Pretty soon he'll be sporting his new Ulterga components: front and rear brakes and a rear derailer. All he's missing now are some Ultegra shifters.

Patience, young grasshopper.

So the Baguers are here and we have actually gotten on our bikes...once. And believe it or not, Pinky rode...only to get a flat and at the end of the ride. Big Red may have danced his last dance. I think there's a wall somewhere in this house with his name on it.

So, Pink and The Mighty Cuban scoped out three shops today in search of Big Red's successor. So far in the running are a couple of Cannondales, a Felt, and a LeMond. There will be some test riding this week and then I guess we'll need a third mortgage to buy it.

Pictures will be posted, I'm sure.

Papa, are you proud?
