Finally riding a big boys bike
I woke up with one goal today. "Clean House".
With the Covid-19 virus, and not many visitors I have let things slide for too long. Wen I woke up this morning I had three bikes stacked up in the hallway just past my front door and started to feel a bit overwhelmed as I tried to stumble past them each day..
Today I decided to re-organize and hang them all back up in the basement. As I was cleaning house I found a bike stacked behind a few others that I completely forgot I still had.
I did not clean as much as I hoped. around 1:00 a got distracted and went fishing.
Sorry for yet another mountain bike post, but this one is pretty cool. Its a K2 with custom built Red Mavic 517 wheels, Time pedals, and a well worn set of tires that used to be my favorite mountain bike race tires of all time, (Specialized 26 x 1.90 Team Dirt Masters).
This is the only wheelset I have ever payed to have custom built for me, and when I received them from a order in Irving California back around 2000 I was very disappointed. After I got them in the mail instead of returning them, I learned how to tune them up myself.
Once I found out that I still had it, and realized that I at some point moved a few parts over to it. I just had to take it out for a mid evening adventure.
I really liked the way this bike fit and handled. Its my lightest mountain bike, and feels fast.
