Is it just me, or does Scott look slightly elf-like in this picture???I can't believe that it's been almost a week since my last post. Since then we've gotten our first snowflakes of the year, quickly followed by our first snow dump of the year. And ever since then I've been on the trainer. Boo!
I know it sounds slightly ridiculous to get a new frame just to ride in the winter, but I'm selling my Tomac hard tail asap. Right now it's in really good condition, but that would not be the case if I rode it outside in snow and salt all winter long. Hence the Karate Monkey!!!
Vroom, Vroom! We are building this bike up as a 1x9 for the time being. I can't wait to take it outside!
Not for long though! Scott gave me my Xmas present early this year. A Karate Monkey!

Hence the Karate Monkey!!!Luckily we have enough old parts in the basement to build up the entire bike. All I need to do is take it to Velo City for a bit of tweaking...
Scott was all, "I'm sure we have the right gear somewhere!"

I also registered for my first race of 2010! I didn't do it last year, but I heard it's hard. It's going to be one big hammer-fest!
Well, I'm tempted to keep blogging away, but that's because I'm in full procrastination mode. I'm scheduled for a 20 minute power test today, and I have to do it on the trainer. I worked close to 13 hours yesterday, and I've been absolutely dragging today. I need to just get the darn power test over with so that I can quit thinking about it!!!

Scott *always* looks kind of elf-like...
She's a beautiful Monkey.
Well he does look a little elfish but he needs the pointy shoes to complete the look. Hey it’s early xmas. Sweet and it has big wheels. You must have really been good this year.
You guys stay warm.
Peace,

a karate monkey seems fitting. get yourself some of those studded tires. your going to need them for the near future!
The perfect winter beast. Make sure you spray a ton of frame saver down the tubes. Michigan winters can do damage to 4130 steel.
Let me know if you need any other pieces. I have a collection of odds and ends in the workshop.
