The Tank is proving a sturdy steed. For commuting and blatting around locally I can live with him quite nicely thanks. Hybrid tyres mean he is well enough mannered on the road but can still just about manage some muddy stuff too.
But.
For 170 miles of Way of the Roses? I don't think The Tank is really cut out for that kind of ride. So I have found him a stablemate. She's cute (this one is definately a girl) in white and pink with newly refurbished cassette and chain, new tape on her bars and she is a supermodel. All skinny and light :-P
She is a Specialised Dolce Elite. And she is mine :)
I bought her second hand so I could afford a good quality bike but I didn't pay the new price for her. That may come in time but for now she will do me nicely thank you.
I had to be shown how to change gear! In my day we had things called levers. Apparently we now have shifters, who'd have thought!
