Fixed!

Fixed! (Dou­ble mean­ing indeed!)

I don’t really remem­ber when I started this project exactly, roughly it’s been just under a year. It is per­haps the best feel­ing to have it finally fin­ished. Speak­ing of finally fin­ished Prescott Fam­ily is get­ting pretty darn close. Any­ways, need­less to say, yes­ter­day was a pretty good day. 1) I picked up my bike, 2) We got jars for mak­ing the kom­bucha, 3) I ate udon noo­dles, 4) PLUS! BONUS! We watched the Office (by the way, have you seen this or this?)

So the bike! I’m look­ing for­ward to becom­ing less sheep­ish about going fast down hills; I’m get­ting used to the whole “stop­ping” thing. I feel pretty proud of this lit­tle project though. I replaced the bot­tom bracket, cranks, ped­als, sad­dle, han­dle­bars, rear wheel, the won­der­ful blue chain… It’s so sexy. I guess it’s not com­pletely done. I still need to tape the han­dle­bars, fig­ure out the front brake sit­u­a­tion (It’s the law, right? Or even if it’s not, I would feel a lit­tle more con­fi­dent in going really fast…), and it would be nice to get a match­ing front wheel. But all that isn’t nec­es­sary, I can ride it now. I CAN RIDE IT NOW!!! It’s been too long lit­tle bike. It feels so right because a) my other bike is huge, my body gets all tense rid­ing it for too long, and b) rid­ing fixed gear feels so log­i­cal, you’re mov­ing, the bike is mov­ing. If any­one wants to ride soon, well, in two weeks, after our trip, hit me up because I’m so down.
