So the SSO is putting on another one of his 1903 Adventure Rides this weekend. As always, I wait until the last minute to get myself ready for this sort of thing. The route winds over an through the mountains via numerous paved and gravel roads. My Jamis Exile fixie hardly has clearance for 23c's so it definitely wasn't up for this ride. Wanting to go along with the 1903 adventure theme I've decided to convert my Montarino Pimp Bike/town cruiser into a full on 30 year old cyclocross bike. Various friends have come through with some last minute parts contributions for the project so hopefully everything will come together tomorrow evening when I go to assemble it. With any luck she will stay together over the 60+ mile route. The bike is still sporting many of the original parts, including the 30 year old chain. I don't even want to think about the small crack in the head tube......... Easy does it I guess.
