I was hoping that el nino was going to help this winter be warmer than usual. especially this morning, I was hoping for 20 degrees and only got 4. The beard is helping? it tends to have frozen dingle balls hanging in it. My eyes water under 5 degrees.
Bought a new bike, redline D660 with mostly xtr and a white bros fork. paid $750 shipped on ebay.
It arrived on Monday, barely packed with just a piece of cardboard between the front wheel and frame, some plastic bits to keep sharp parts from poking through the box. The front skewer was missing. I am happy with the bike so far. It is cold and snowy out, so only a test ride around the block on plastic pedals, I have multi-colored spoke nipples. I added up all the parts and it would be about a $3000 bike to build, $600 fork, $600 wheel set (list) about $250 in discount catalogs.
XTR crank, shifters, derailleurs. Chris King red headset ($130) avid juicy brakes($250+) titanium bar and thompson post and stem.
