5 Boro or Bust
Mood:

caffeinated
Topic: fixed gearing

5/5/06 - The Tempo fix is back in it's drop bar setup, tho' this time with diff bar stem (as the angled stem with the "track" look is on my Trek 1000 roadbike).

This is the fix I shall end up taking on the five boro '06 in two days from now: 45x17 track width drivetrain, 25c tires (duraskin rear) and a good stout front brake. The bike is also equipped with a water bottle cage and a decent sized specialized seat pouch, added since the picture above was taken last week in my old college town of Madison, NJ on an ancient overpass by the train line.

I may still add a second water bottle, though I am not sure. This thing sure gets around. First MA and now NYC... it's a regular frequent flyer...
