today i did this:
high fucking five to myself.
i put all the bits onto this junk kabuki road frame i had lying around. pretty sure the headset is worth more than the frame. im considering forking out big and getting it re-built. dont really want a fuji track.

removed and repaired a tubular tyre :-o
then did a second one… not all that difficult, if perhaps not quiet as easy as for clinchers.

Applied my nice new Daccordi decals to my newly powdercoated frame… except I put a couple of them on BACKWARDS!!
Doofus indeed.
Not a huge, deal, it just mean means the tails of the decals are pointing the wrong way… 😑 :oops:

Rattle-canned the Europa. It’s actually light blue \> purple \> black, but you can’t really see it in that light. Gonna finish building it up tonight.
Oh, gotta fix the flat in the rear too.

I rattle canned my rear Deep V to get rid of the uncool machined side wall, now fully black. My wife thinks I am a fucking idiot for spending the weekend doing that but at least I have more street cred now 😛 Thanks to the expert advice contained on this forum it actually turned out ok too.

My girlfriend thinks I’m the same for spray painting a “perfectly good frame”. She was impressed with the results though.

Definately should have been done before riding. Foot retention is a must.

Of course. I’ve been running one for maybe 2 and a half years.
I’ve never ridden with a nankai as the other guy I ride with with a freecoaster runs a Federal ACB at the moment.

Couldn’t dial in my brakes due to the clearance with the rear tyre so I took them off.
Put my Slam Bars back on.
New pedals tomorrow.
