Critter Bike


Well, as were were spinning in the rain, "Juan Pablo" Montoya got me all jazzed up about the spring crits. So back from the ride, after a nice warm bath, lunch and a power nap, I dusted off the old-faithful crit frame, stripped down to the bone (cross bike needed some parts).

I am going to put this puppy together within the next few weeks and strip the old aluminum/CF fork for a spare Giant FormulaOne fork I have left over from my Giant TCR. Which brings me to the story of what happened to the bike; that frame is sitting in the garage with a cracked down tube, courtesy of a kamikadze rider who took me down in the Harford crit last year. So for now I am going to stick with aluminum frame, because with my luck, I may be back at the shop looking for a new frame early in the season. Anyway, here it is, on its way to 18 pounds :-).
