You're a Star

A bleak and cold Sunday morning. I felt sluggish and weak the whole ride in. The Trek is still a maintenence casulty, needs a new tube in the rear, that I keep telling myself I am going to change when I get home. really. The Easton has not been treating me well, of course it could go for a complete overhaul, deraileurs are a tad out of adjustment, the Rock Shox are sticking the breaks are squeaking... The winter has been hard and brutal on my rides and there are still many weeks to survive. The Trek is starting to make creaking noises, especially near the bottom bracket... is a frame failure in my future? I pray to the memory of The Pirate that she'll hold together for another year. Do you hear me Marco? One more year on her sweet lugged frame, one more year of hard cornering, one more year! I measured the frame this morning as the hunt for a new ride is now serious. Many options on ebay. Now I have to decide, do I upgrade to a new road bike or do I find another classic lugged frame to build a Fixie? Hopefully I will see something that speaks to me on some base level, like the first time I rode my old Peregrine, and it will just be a matter of clicking and paying. Hopefully.
