After a.m. chores Lennie called, he's heading up to Downieville this weekend, and needed a rear brake bleed... 2 hours later we're over hauling his rear Chris King Hub, after I said it was sounding loud he let it slip he hadn't overhauld'd it in a couple of years. Agh, 2 years, if he wasn't one of my best friends...
Speaking of Lennie he sent me this photo of his Rock Lobster Tig Steel 'Cross bike. This was Lennies first 'Lobster and in true style we built it up together in my garage.
He picked up the kit from Excel Sports out of Boulder on a business trip (he travels a lot) and Paul did up the frame build for him. He's had the bike about a year (I honestly don't remember exactly how long) and other then the tension of the wheels loves it. He even bought a Steel Road 'Lobster with S&S couplers we're spec'ing it out with a Force shifting, Campy crank, Phil Wood BB, CK/USA/Mavic MMmmmmm... he's picking up the odds and ends now... build up soon.
Now for something completely different the dancing Llam...ahmen... no we won't go there...
Went to the Dr's today too, he was cool, doesn't want me to push to hard yet. 12-16 more weeks for a "full" recovery. The x-ray, only one this time, he wants me back in 6 weeks for follow up and a better view of the over lap.
Made dinner... Then Matt stopped by to hang out/work on/drop off Sara's bike.
Working with Matt was a lot of fun, he's a mechanic by trade too, a BMW mechanic at a quality shop, and knows his sh*t. Details make the mechanic in either business, he's one of the good ones. We ate dinner and hung the components, but it was getting late by the time the first cables were being strung so this will be continued tomorrow... sorry no photos yet, not for a work in progress ;)
