New Bike!

Fred Fragger said:

Ever found yourself standing in the shed, at night, looking at your new bike and grinning like a
Cheshire cat? Stroking the stanchions and fondling the rear shock? Oiling the chain that you oiled
only yesterday? Aligning the saddle to within half a degree of horizontal using a spirit level?
Playing with the Julies?

Sad really, I need to get out more.................time to fit some lights methinks :-)

What do you mean standing in the shed? I only need to turn over in bed and reach out my hand. On one
side my love on the other side my .... 😉 Then when I'm at the breakfast table I just turn around a
little and there is my other .... 😉 and if I turn a little the other way .... 😉

Ain't nothing like a cozy home :<😉

My bikes live in the house with me. Though are probably feeling a bit more neglected than when
they were new.

What bike did you get? Post a link to pics?

Stick the wife out there for a night to see how it feels - she'll let it

in the house quickly......

......and probably kick you out at the same time ;-P

I see many years of wedded bliss have taught you a thing or two.

So, how long were you locked out the house then Stevie?

I set myself a limit of 1,000 sterling and spent 1,075 :-) on a Marin Alpine Trail. Figured it was a
good spec for the price (well for the UK price that is) and also a good frame to upgrade when I feel
the urge. No pics of my own yet, perhaps this weekend, but the UK spec model is here marin.co.ukmarinOpen ↗

Only one decent trip out so far and most of that was through the local woods (so plenty of mud etc.)
on the 5" setting. Nice, but I figure it'll take a little time to adjust from my hardtail.

I only started riding seriously last August and this is already my second "proper" bike so I'm
breaking 'er indoors (on her first reasonable bike) in gently :-).

Later,

Fred
