progess, un poquito
you may notice, and i certainly do no mileage is mentioned yet again. still dealing with ear thing. tomorrow, friday, i WILL get turbo set up and get minutes in. that will get me through the weekend and to my ear/nose/throat appt on monday. after that we hopefully will be able to get some REAL progess.
on the bike front, Project LHT is coming along nicely. today i received my 2nd package from peterwhitecycles. sent were a Nelson Longflap, which will provide more space for commuting, and a 3W halogen BnL generator light, Plus Senso. i pray to whatever diety that will listen that it works fine. if you read this, which at this point may only be the wife and Chris, pray for me as well. also, with the bag, i bought a couple straps to do things right. i think strapping excess/extraneous clothing is a good way to free up some space in the bag.
another Chris at Clarksville tried to call me b/c i'd typically screwed something up. i ordered 8speed thumbshifters, when i have 9 speed cassette, and a relatively wide gear spread as well. he ordered the 9s, which i'll have to pay a little more for. BUT, my tomorrow afternoon i should have the LHT with moustache bars, diacompe Vbrake levers, 9speed shifters, the Carradice bag, and the dynolight. everything should be mounted by Saturday. in the long term, the only other thing that i will eventually do is buy some better wheels, but that will be down the road, as the ones now suffice.
given the $$ i've spent on the extras, i should've just had Clarksville build the pinche bike in the first place. ebay seemed like such a good deal at the time.
when everything is mounted (and working gracias a Dios), i'll take some pics.
