Globe Rider: Rebirth

Well, I haven't posted in the while as my ideas have piled up with my embarrassment about procrastinating on writing about them.  Anyway, now I'm going to get back into it on a more once-per-week basis.

Welcome to the first Wednesday post.

A preview of what's to come in the next couple of weeks - in no particular order.

First off, I'm doing a revamp of the trail/xc bike: RaceFace Atlas AM bars, 90mm Ritchie stem, 185mm front bb7 (hell yes, I'm sticking with cable-actuated), Chris King headset, X9 shifter, Kona Jackshit pedals, and FSA XC290 wheels.  Oh also, I'm going to rebuild the fork (it'll be my first time!) and extend the travel to 100mm.




Secondly, this is my new and unnamed baby.  She's a Specialized P2 Aluminum with a bunch of random parts that I will happily list off ad nauseam at a later date.  I bought it built up for cheap and I've been hitting Joyride about once a week with it.

Lastly, I bought a Modrobes Modarcka jacket that I will be reviewing.

I'll be posting up next week...
