Sounds braw Kaiser
Really getting intae my commute now I've got over my puncture run. Thinking about tackling a spring classic to keep the motivation going through the winter ( and i' eroica if I get my way)
Strangely my new fave mtb is my new mtb. Not brand new, but the one I got 3 or 4 months back. But after last run I knew upgrades were needed. V-brakes are sh*** in clingy mud and boy the mud was plentiful my white Mongoose became a poo coloured mongoose that had to be submerged in a river to get it clean....ish. So fitted the 140mm travel forks off the On-One 456 I no longer feel the love for and upgraded bike to front and rear discs. Chances were the forks would be too long for the Mongoose but amazingly I think I've got away with it. Modern sus corrected frames are a good thing
However when I begin to think retro is behind me I ride my Emmelle Dolomite and I'm back in retro love. Modern kit is great but I cannot abandon retro. So its all good
EDIT: Bike handles well and climbs well too without that steel bike timelag between pedal cranking and forward motion. Just need a thudbuster seatpost to complete upgrades, thats an aluminium failing, undiluted shock transfer :roll:
Got my insurance payout for my shoulder bills. Didn't get my flight upgrade paid but they undercharged me on the excess so not all bad.
Psychologically the bill has already been paid so tempted to put it towards something nice but then I won't be able to use it for a few months which would annoy me.
