And today I did......

Re:

Chunky Monkey is a cracking tyre for the money. Comes up nice and big, do you have a smorgasbord on the back?
 
K - Nah, didn't go with the Smorg out back. Still running a Geax Goma, which isn't going to do me any good up Blairadam, but should be fine for Comrie and the GT ride so I'll just leave it on.

fatty should begin to happen soon - will get the back wheel built up shortly, possibly powder coat the frame and take it from there.
 
It is indeed. Came with rear hub, BB, headset and a big ole' Nate... Must stop dragging my heels on it actually.
 
Re:

so, i'd promised myself a trip to Glen Affric to christen the Salsa,

woke up this morning, 10 degrees, fair-ish weather-wise...... perfect!!

loaded up the Volvo, and left, with the sky progressively getting darker and the temperature dropping the closer i got to my intended destination..... :facepalm:

sure enough, pulled up in the car park (the only car there) with 5 degrees and rain starting to fall....

Re:

got ready and off i went

this was a test as it hadn't turned a wheel since i built it, other than for photos, so i had no idea how it was gonna ride

lots of new things to try, wide bars, new pedals, new tyres and one of those wonky oval chainrings

but did i need to worry....?!

this face says not!! :D
