Face-Lift

Yikes, came home from work and Bike man was busy upgrading his oldest mountain bike....the Novara. His 20 year old bike got a new face lift today.



New handle bars, stem, seat post, and saddle. I think this was an all afternoon project that proceeded into the night. No riding tonight! That's ok, because it's 83% humidity and you sweat just standing still. Since we don't have air conditioning in our house, days like this are long and drawn out.





Very nice.




A man needs his tools....Bike tools that is!
Check out my new cold Quinoa salad recipe under my Turtle Recipes.

  1. When you want to work on your bike it's fun. When it breaks down and you have to work on it, it's maddening.

    Stay Cool!

  3. Was the sweat driping into his eyes?
    Is this the bike that he's going to take on vacation?

  6. Even bikes need a spruce up from time to time I see. At least the lake must be a source of refreshing coolness... its what we do here in the heat of summer.
