August 31, 20205 yr Well don't touch the asphalt... just skid with the rear wheel locked for 60m at 50km/h. I have already ordered the spare parts but I have fallen in love with a nice Bianchi frame. Now I just have to convince my wife ... and my bank account 🙂

Now I just have to convince my wife ... and my bank account 🙂 Sounds like you should probably get the spare parts for the above, and then go ahead and order a complete of that Bianchi. Can't know if it was better without just hopping off one onto the other, right. Wife should understand...
September 1, 20205 yr I´m a gentleman !!!!!! ... after, of course Good input Brent. My intention is to change everything (including the new components) from the Stevens to Bianchi. I can't afford a complete Bianchi as I want (Ultegra / Dura Ace DI2, DT Swiss, etc.) Later, when my wallet recovers, I´ll buy an inexpensive groupset (like Sora or 105) and use the Stevens for my Tacx Flux. By the way, now I just repaired the carbon on the damaged pod. At the end of the trip, maybe I will spend a little more but at this moment for me it is more comfortable.

September 2, 20205 yr Yes, not celeste and it´s not my first choise but I was lucky to get a size 52 used. This is not a very common frame here and it´s very expesive. However, I am still negotiating the price with the store. The economic crisis due to Covid in Spain is beginning to hit very hard.
September 3, 20205 yr Here's to hoping that the negotiations are successful. I think I'm out of the bike buying game for a while, unless I see a screaming deal on a SuperSix EVO Disc. Then I might do bad things...
September 3, 20205 yr Had a run in with a stick today about 6 miles from home! It was too big to plug, so my friend cut off most of the stick and we road home. It didn't leak at all. I love running tubeless. Edited September 3, 20205 yr by guzziguy
September 4, 20205 yr it’s amazing how this training stuff works. i got back from my 15 mile ride this morning, feeling like it was a slow one and strava told me i’m getting faster.

September 14, 20205 yr I'm setting a goal of riding Haleakala in Feb of 2022. I've gotta build up my climbing a lot now.
