I'm supposed to be doing something else, so it's clearly a good time to be writing on the internet about my bike. Again.
Somewhere
back in the mists of time I lived in a teepee with an Irishman and made a bike frame. Since then the frame lay dormant for a year and then finally became a bike and went on some
mountain adventures over the summer. Lately Kermit has finally found his intended purpose and is my used-every-day bike for getting around Vancouver. As I've just put some nice new brake pads on him, I thought I should take a few photos for the record. Internet, meet Kermit.

| Sorry about the top-tube pad. I'm not a hipster, honest. |
 |
| What makes the wheels go 'round? Well, a strange mix of old road and mountain bike stuff I gathered together over the past few years in OCB. |
 |
| Half road, half mountain, all action. |
 |
| Here's where the fun really is. About 15 years after it was the exciting new thing to do, I am using the "hidden click" in a old Shimano 7 speed shifter to shift on an 8 speed cassette... using a 9 speed rear mech . It actually works too. |

| Kermit, standing rampant in our kitchen. |
 |
| Salmon? Sorted. |
