So my Madone decided it wanted to be high maintenance yesterday. Started a ride Saturday but it was being stubborn so I turned back ending the ride then swapped it out for the Beans Mobile for Sunday till I feel like fixing the Madone. 😄 Forgotten how much I love to ride this bike. Been 3 years but still feels great being 28 years old. 😉 Fueled by Sizzluh with Gina last night. Got a budget under layer, Under Armour for $15. I'm a budget kinda cyclist. 😄
Boy, my legs are getting skinny.
Originally I was nicknamed Mr.Beans but since signing on cycling forums and the net in about 2002, Mr. Beans was taken by the comedian so I used a Z instead of an S. This bike is from 1998, a 97 purchased in 98. I have since replaced just about everything but the crank and front hub that are Ultegra 600 equipment. I have Dura Ace that I purchase at Supergo years ago. Shifter/brake levers for $199 and rear derailleur for $64 no tax. I bought 2 and still have one in my tool box. I miss Supergo!
Just a short 20 miler from Pico to the SF Dam. Man, I am feeling great! Though going easy, I did manage to feel great going against the wind. The way I used to feel on the bike.. Great to be back after taking control of my health and fitness by eating the way I should while avoiding all the celebration food and bad eating. Too old now to risk health issues so I'll just keep it up!
Did test a little power bank light that I got from Rock Bros. I do my business on ebay with RockBrosusa22 as the dude has been cool shipping good times and even giving me a couple of small parts that I needed to replace after breaking a part on a new light not realizing how to operate it properly. Dude sent me a couple of replacements free of charge so being the loyal customer I am, I only buy from his if he has the part which most times he does. Several Rock Bros stores on ebay but I deal with this dude, reasons mentioned.
A bit weak though, would want it a bit brighter but some crazy run times. High beam 48 hours, low 72 and strobe is 200 ha ha ha! If it ain't too bright but it will shine forever ha ha ha! The power bank works seeing I tested it by charging my Samsung earbuds and case.
But wow, feeling GREAT! And a Happy New Year to all my friends and people that like me. Those that don't, you suck ha ha ha!
A new mount extension, cut out light weight like I need it ha ha ha!
Sizzluh and the mall NY eve, mall only open till 6 pm so we had to eat fast ha ha ha!
