It would be difficult to overestimate how pleased I am about that whole "fits" thing.

An experiment
So, what started last year as
(the frame builder's laudable habit of putting height marks on the wall) looks like this now:
I still have to find an opportunity to take a full picture outside, in good light, when the entire province of Ontario is not just emerging from two days of rainfall warning, but I have a new bike that fits.

Now that's a *shiny* rear hub. Better take the bike out in the rain a couple of times to take the edge off before you blind passersby.
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, it's still rather cold rain and I'm being a wimp about it for bicycling purposes.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the "avoid cold rain" camp myself. Congrats on the good fit. A comfy bike makes everything better.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of bike is it? (coming in late)
It's a touring bike from True North Cycles.
ReplyDeleteIt has couplers, but it's too big to fit in the standard case for coupler bikes, so my next problem is to figure out the minimum case size that will take the bike, racks and fenders and all. This is hurting my head, and I almost certainly need to get some plywood, a ton of padding foam, and make a mockup. But oddly I don't want to take it apart until I've ridden it.
Yay bike! I do not blame you in the least for not wanting to take it out in the cold rain, which rain has now turned to snow, or for not wanting to take it apart until you've ridden it a few times. I feel approximately the same.
