New Bike.
So pictures will be forthcoming, but suffice to say I have purchased yet another bicycle. This one is probably the nicest of the fleet, Merckx MX Leader, and while not new it is probably newer than any other bike I have (minus the 2005 Kona Blast of course).
There are a couple of things I will need to do to get the bike up an running, luckily I have an extra shimano 600 left hand sti lever lying around, that makes things easier.
Of course I might just go ahead and tear the entire frame down bare and utilize the horizontal dropouts, I mean really how fucking sexy would that be? Slap the Phil Woods on there, break into my private stash of 171mm Sugino Mighty Comp Cranks and I would be a happy camper. Or I could just save up my money and invest in new parts to build the bike up, not that the old ones are bad by anymeans, but it would feel right to have it pimped out with a full new groupo.
First things first clean and take pictures.

My bike is the EXACT same color, but a few years older. I doubt my frame was ever worth 1800 though, the link is to a 25th anniversary bike.
Had dinner with Jer and Kim, her friend Sarah came for a little while. Not the greatest food but I was starving.
Bed time.
