Got up at 5:15, straight down the garage, got the Giant Frame out, put wheels on it including fixed rear wheel with new shimano cartridge (see pic). Pumped up tyres, sorted brakes, put a seat on the beggar and it's pretty much ready to ride. Only got about 5 miles done on it and not recorded on computer - need to get some cable ties and then I'll have that working again. The stealth is jiggered, just can't stand the noise of the beggar. The giant on the other hand has a slight knocking noise like one of the wheels is out of true but am going to get a better look at it tonight while I have time and we'll be back in business proper. As it is, it's just nice to pound round without all manner of banging and clattering. Am much happier than last night - just need to get some lights sorted on it and then things will be grand!!
A pic of megoodself and the Giant - older, quieter and betterer than the stealth at the moment! Note: the apples to the left of my head (they're not growing out of my head but are on a top little tree in the background!)!
New Shimano Cassette in place.
