With my lumbago I almost forget the essential! !!!


Little Pony got his 21" wheels. When the tire will be in bad condition i will add a Speedmaster :)
But first, i need to shave the fork because i will never put again the front fender. It's not a problem for me to ride under rain. It's like tempest surfing. You just need a warm shower after a rainy ride. Not a big deal.

Kisses.

Ollie.

On va être jolis au bord de la route hi hi hi. Pour l'avoir ce cadre je suis prête à tous les sacrifices même le sport et les abdos !!!!! Têtue la fille. Je me donne jusqu'à mes 40 ans pour faire que ce que je veux. On verra après pour les choses sérieuses :)

Okay I don't read French but something about sacrificing for your sport and you're gonna be forty, or something...

Anyway, the 21 looks great but yeah, you're gonna get wet- maybe you get some cool leather chaps to keep the spray off you

Cheers, be good, get well soon

Ha ha ha Barry when i said i'm ready to make all the sacrifices for my rigid frame i speak about : sport and abds ha ha ha yuk yuk i hate training abds ha ha ha! !!!


I ride under rain with my Carhartt Jacket. It's not bad. It keeps me warm and the top of my body stay almost wet. But of course, i will be happy to have my car get repaired. Mediterranean spring rain could be very strong so i don't exceed 50 kilometers by hour under rain on my bike ha ha ha. Still need a full helmet with a visor ha ha ha :)))))

if its raining - put a bandanna or something bridging across forks above the wheel - it really reduces the amount of water flicked buck up in your face. I have a tatty springer on mine, so i just use duct tape across them. works a treat!
