Couple changes

First, rode the Comandante rigid this am up 305 and down with Dan. My legs were pretty worked by the end letting me know I have not SS'd enough. I still had reasonable explosiveness, but the recovery from those explosive efforts left a lot to be desired. I was weak by the end, and a little jelly legged most of the morning.

Dang it was fun. Did I say it was fun? I really like this bike rigid and think it will stay that way. I have a bunch of other rides for more epic, stuff that beats you up. I would not want to ride rigid every day, but it is simply a hoot to have such a responsive, light rig that really doesn't beat you up too bad.

It just looks right as well except for the seatpost, but I am hopelessly addicted to how it makes any bike ride.

As for the bike to which El Comandante donated a fork:
Almost done, lacks a chain, cassette, and derailleur which should be here this week. With its tiny cockpit, and massive stand over, it looks to be quite the fun bike as well. I can tell just coasting it around the driveway that it is not nearly so ponderous as the Curtlo.

The WB fork just got back from having the IMV guts exchanged for Fluid guts, and a new longer steer tube put on it. Dramatic difference in plushness. The IMV was just too harsh feeling for me.
