some final bits for the #dadbike - cheapo set of MT401 brakes and a Nukeproof rigid fork off a mate, officially commuter ready.

The blue hubs and headset are a bit loud don’t you think? 
I am indeed ashamed 
Installed a new freehub body on my WI CLD hub.
It’d done a fair amount of kms and I struggled to pull the cluster off as it was so indented into the freehub body. So time for a new one.

Added a dodgy fender extender after first decently dirty ride with these fenders. There was quite a bit of spray on the crankarm/chainring/my feet so hopefully this will reduce that.
Jury-rigged some supports for the Bagman Expedition rack to take some pressure off the saddle rails.
I’m no engineer. But i think it should work… maybe…

Loaded up the bike. Heading to Ballarat for the Goldfields trail. Slightly concerned about the weight in my basket, but i didn’t want to risk not having enough weed.

dude. I wish i knew how much it does weigh. Like does it weigh as much as like an ounce of feathers? Or like an ounce of marbles? Who knows?
Makes you think but.

Zip ties. Held up surprisingly well, even sent it a couple of times yeeeeew
So fucking wet yesterday. Absolutely demoralisingly wet. Nearly called it. But decided to press on. Perfect weather today. Amazing riding.

you love to see it!
Scored a set of TRP Hylex hydro levers off FB and proceeded to chuck em on the commuter.
Much happy.

Finally found the time to replace the very old chain on my old carbon roadie. Had been riding my track-delivery bike or Bianchi Mini-Velo in the interim. Want to get rid of the Bianchi. Its far too small for me.
I have a pipe dream of buying a mini velo in Japan and going bike touring on it… Maybe with a folding Bob trailer then bringing it all back to Aus

I think if you got every bike ever made and put them in a blender, you’d end up with this.
