...Boxes that look like this. That's right, my new frame has arrived, and of course that means that being a bit of a bum at the moment, i've spent today building it up. It's been an emotional experience, involving rudimentary headtube facing, endless inserting the semi-integrated cups, and then removing them again, then putting them in a little further, and the addition of a longer rear-brake hose as highlights. But it's done, and ready for the weekend, and looks like this...
I'm quite looking forward to taking it for a spin around the BUCS course on saturday, and experiencing the student champs for the first time since i became a grown-up (read old fart). It'll be nice to hang out with the guys from Cambridge Uni, who i feel i don't see nearly often enough since i moved home. And there's always the comedy of watching the downhill on the saturday, although i'm hoping for better weather for that than last year.
Sore throat is going away, i'm tempted to go for a short jog this evening, just very gently - it seems like a while since i put some running shoes on, and it's a glorious afternoon for it now. Hopefully i can put in some decent training miles before my next race in ten days time at the Gorrick Spring Series. Watch this space...
