Snapped

A carbon Bontrager seat post on my mtb and bought a Ritchey Al WCS to replace it. Ever have to ride standing up for about 2miles to get out of the woods? It sucks.

Took a chance and bought this on ebay. Had been looking for a disc cross bike in steel or Ti and this came up (Steel Planet X). Condition was much better than I could have hoped for and rides like a dream. Swapped out saddles, seat post, and put on some knobbies, and took her for a ride yesterday.

My first custom bike. Yes.... custom for someone else.... but.... it's still custom!

Shimano winter shoes. First ride was today at 40 degrees - toasty toes, almost too warm!

2 x Pro Turnix carbon saddles
1 x Pro Turnix Ti saddle
2 x CX70 front derailleurs

I've decided that Antares saddles aren't my cuppa after a few years of fiddling with em.

I like the CX70 front derailleur on the Altamira, so I got 2 more to go on the other bikes.

The last bit of Castelli gear I bought was some shorts. Managed to rub a hole in the inner thigh. D@mn velcro on the seat bag got me. Now the only time I can wear em is under tights.

I've had good luck with my Nanoflex arm warmers. Going on two years now and still look new.
