Ride, Shop, Build!

I made the weekly saturday AM ride at paceline today. We pulled off 52 miles at almost 19mph. Much fun was had by all, with only a sprinkle here and there. After I got back, Van asked if I could work at the shop, to which I heartily replied, "Of course!" I get to hang out with my friends, sell people bikes, talk about something I love and have a great time, it hardly seems like work! Curtis, Steve, and I finished up the build in between helping out the customers. I'm very pleased with the final build, I can't wait to get out and ride it. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get in a nice shakedown ride. The final weight with cages and pedals is 26.6lbs. It's actually a little bit lighter than what I thought it would end up as.
