Sunshine has returned to Vancouver... and strangely the UK has been blanketed by snow. It's a funny old world. Paul and I made a cross-border trip yesterday to ride some smooth trails at Galbraith. With the sun shining from the blue sky it certainly felt like springtime. I was also able to take possession of a major part, and some minor parts, of my new bike project. I will be missing some fairly vital components (like wheels) for a week or two yet, but it's exciting to have something bike-shaped coming together.
Today I dismantled the nice new fork I got and tinkered around with the guts inside, which seems to have had the effect I was looking for. I got to use an exciting new (to me) product, which is
very slippery indeed. Just right for sliding things. I also attached my rather eclectic collection of old and new parts to the frame without any nasty surprises. Still, there's plenty of time for those...
