I've been really busy for a couple of weeks getting the bike ready for the long ride.
I wanted mountain bike strength and agility (I may end up off -road at some points) and the comfort of road bike handle bars. So I have combined a frame I already had with other bits from the garage, just needed to buy the bars.
I took it for a quick test ride on Thursday night - rode it to the pub 9 miles. It feels really fast and smooth. Could do with being a little higher at the front. I was leaning on my arms a bit too much.
Need to get some new brake levers and then add the grip tape.
.....................and beyond!
Next job is to sort out panniers and other storage.
