Little Later Than..
So I left at 11...
Or really a little after.
Good news I fixed that pesky flat, with re-adjusting my chain tension, total flat change time was about 10 minutes, I wasn't really pushing to go very fast. I think the tire is a little older, so the rubber is easier to manipulate, that helps.
The bike is fully functional and ready for serious riding.
I took it around the block and was impressed, it handles superbly. My fears that it would be a size or so too small were unfounded, as I will need to actually lower the seat at least an inch. I didn't feel like the top tube was too short either, it actually felt about right. Even so, you have a little amount of breathing room with moving the stem up and down, or if nothing else I always have the option of buying a slightly longer stem. I haven't taken it on any long rides yet, so I don't know it feels for an extended period of time.
I have the feeling once I get it how I like it, I am REALLY going to like the bike.
But I am tired as all hell right now, so am going to bed.
About those bike photos, the camera's batteries just died so I have to find some more. I might have some someplace, I just don't really know where I put them.
