Ready to Roll

Well, the winter commuter bike is finally done, and I rode it in for the first time today. I had to go to Greenstreet last night to get the finishing touches on my Singulator.  It rides pretty nice. I need to make some adjustments to the handlebars, brake levers, and seat, but nothing unexpected for a new bike. I also need some fenders and winter tires still, so far I have been lucky with the mild winter weather.

The bike ended up as a 42/16, and the ratio feels pretty good. I struggled a bit on the hills on the way in, but nothing that my legs wont get into shape for.  The fact that I didnt have to worry about shifting was vary liberating.

Here is some pics of how she turned out. The black on white combo ended up looking pretty good, even though its going to be impossible to keep looking clean.

If you want a better look at it, it is currently parked in front of the UP building downtown.
