[RyanH]

Intervals this morning, stopped for a minute to take in the scenery:

RYANH - Can you tell me where you got your matte black envy decal for the fork? I can't find one that fits the fork properly....

Thanks!

[RyanH]

Enve apparently told the guy to stop making them, so if anyone wants his email, PM me and I can send. McGilli, pm inbound.

Decals came in:

Good weekend of riding with today being the cherry on top, 7 miles of dirt climbing:

What road is this?

[Lightweenie]

Is that a Timbuk2 Raider backpack? How do you like it? I going to need a commuter backpack soon.

[RyanH]

I'll get a full build list up over the weekend. Here's a glamour camera phone shot (DR on the camera phone is struggling to capture the subtle details):



I still have a handful of things that need to be finalized.

Yeah, it's the Raider backpack. I've gone through a lot of backpacks but this is my favorite. I actually use it for short travel as well since I can put dress clothes for a couple days in there no problem. The pack is light and comfortable to ride with. I had to visit a few client sites on Friday so I did a 104 mile ride with it. It never bothered me. You can also fit a surprising amount of stuff in it for it's size. Pockets on the side can accommodate a lot of goods and expand out as necessary. Overall, it's the ideal commuting backpack from what I've tried.

I hope your planning on stripping that SCRAM crankset

[RyanH]

It's on the possible to do list but before you faint, don't look at the cassette and chain I'm running.

Whoa! Lost track of this thread while away in OR. The T3 came out nice.
