Last night I rode with two of my TNR buddies. They rode slow with me, and even let me ride in front. I rode this bike for the first time. It does creak. I tried greasing the zerk on the main pivot at the bottom bracket, but there's still a creak somewhere. Who cares. It was an epiphany, riding down Cinderella; a full-suspension single speed! I am running a low gear, 32x22R29, which is good for a guy recovering from being broken. Running wide bars and short stem feels good on this bike.
We stopped twice on the ride and enjoyed the view, and solved the world's problems, and talked about dumb stuff too like Eightball and our new invention, the single-speed shifter.
I don't have any pictures from the ride, because it was dark, and because all I was carrying was a multi-tool and some keys. But picture great views and t-shirt weather and three friends on a bike ride.
I've really missed my weekly night ride. So glad I can do it again. Went slow, but did ride some dumb stuff. You would, too, if you were me.
I have one more part to put on the Milk Money, a silver chainring. Then it will be just about as silver as I can get it. Well, I guess I could get a silver headset spacer, silver cassette spacers and a silver cog...
