The Tequilo
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.
ohh that is pretty. that is some nice boyfriend you got there. ohh thats me!
baby I am really glad you like “el chulo”. now enjoy him and “get on you bike and ride…”
I love you!
P.S. I’m jealous and find myself wanting your tri bike. I want one too, with 650 wheels and all. this bike is NICE!
Groovy bike, and what a nice beau!
Here’s hoping for excellent riding weather for you.
thanks K !!
Wow! SWEET RIDE! I can’t wait to read about your triathlon. Good luck with the final weeks of training. Will you ride your new bike in the race?
thanks Orangina ! i will definitely ride my new bike in the race. i can’t wait !!! these last few weeks are very exciting.
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!
Cool bike! Love your site, too. Great recipes!
