Making Changes all around...

Had some time today to switch a few things around on some bikes. Switched my Avid SD7s from my commuter bike to the Haro Mary, along with swapping the Avid BB5s for Avid BB7s. Finally trimmed up the Jagwire cable housing on the Mary as well from switching out the On One Mary handlebars to a set of Bontrager Big Sweep. I feel that the Mary single speed is going to be a pretty solid bike this year. Another plan for it is to play around with the gearing a little bit. Right now, I am at a 2:1 gear ratio, which for the Cincinnati area is not too bad. I would like to gear it a little easier for when I go to other places though. Time will tell. Here are some pictures from my time working today:

Replaced!



Picked up my new frame today! It's almost like having an entirely new bike. It looks completely different, hopefully the welds are completely different as well. Since the bike is so different, I am planning on putting gears on it. I do really enjoy riding a singlespeed bicycle, but I do not think my knees enjoy all that much. I still have a couple other singlespeeds, so it will be nice to be able to switch it up every now and again. With some of the changes that I have in mind, this bike is going to be huge! If anyone is ever considering a Gary Fisher, or even a Trek, expect top notch customer service. No problems at all, I got this bike back in 6 days. Not too shabby. I'd buy another in a heartbeat. Lets just hope this frame doesn't break!
