The Tequilo


The Tequilo, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

About a month ago, I started fantasizing about having a triathlon specific bike. I wanted something old, used and cheap. Something that I could play with and beat up without feeling an ounce of guilt. See, when I joke about my road bike being worth more than my car, I am not really joking. I live in constant fear that something will happen to it.

Well, Jose actually found what I wanted on eBay. The bike arrived in pieces two weeks ago. I immediately took it to the shop and picked it up on Friday. I took it for a test ride Saturday morning. Oh my. This bike is fast !

The bike is old, but it’s in great condition. I changed a few things on it: new saddle, tires and bar tape.

I took it out for another short ride tonight. There were nasty headwinds, but we managed. I am looking forward to a long ride this weekend. Let’s hope the weather cooperates.

    Wow – that bike looks awesome and so comfy! I have trouble transitioning from my spinning class bike to my cruiser at home – just not the same. I might have to search e-bay for a more workout friendly bike soon. Good tip!
