My New Gunnar Roadie!

This is my new road bike, I sold my Roubaix Pro almost 3 months ago and I decided this time around to go with a steel frame. I went with Gunnar as it is an excellent value for a U.S. handcrafted frame. I also went with a steel fork just because I think it looks good, it has a very smooth ride, just a bit heavier than a carbon fork.

I went with a Sram Red drive train. for parts I used Deda stem, bars,tape & seat post. I went with a Chris King Headset. I am running Mavic wheels,pedals & computer.

For tires I choose to go with Michlein Pro 3's

I m running a Selle Italia saddle.

Extra items are Arundel seat bag & bottle cages.

I spent a lot of time choosing parts I thought would look good and perform well, I hope you enjoy looking at it as much as I do riding it!

Recent Find Vintage Cycling Poster

My Wife was visiting the local resale shop and she came across this beautiful poster!

I did a google search for Cycles Auto-Moto and I did not find any info on this print, but I did find lots of other cool prints to look at.
This poster may actually be a catalog cover that was enlarged to poster size.
anyway it will look awesome on the wall....

My first Blog!

Wow, I have entered the world of blogging, I am not sure how this is going to go, or if it will grow into something bigger but I thought I would give it a try.
Right now I am taking a break from building a deck on the back of my house.
It is over 90 degrees so the work is going slow. One of the reasons I am building the deck is to have a train on rollers. (for bike racing) rollers for those that don't know are a training tool that lets you ride a bike without going anywhere, and unlike a trainer your bike isn't in a fixed position so you have to balance helping build your stabilizer muscles. The bike I am currently using on the rollers is a vintage 1997 Barracuda Mountain bike , it has full XT and is pretty cool, I have smooth 1.5 tires on it as I don't plan on taking this bike anywhere but on my deck.

I will post some pics at a later date...
