Phase II Complete

This last Sunday I took my old beat wheels into Recycled Cycles over in the U-district. It's a bike shop that sells new, but also used old bikes and they buy used components too! I thought I'd take my wheels down to see what they might offer for them. I wasn't expecting much....and I was right...haha. I handed the wheels to them and they handed me a couple of inner tubes. Not much right, but hey free is free.

So I had my tubes in hand and the last piece of phase II was on the way...in the mail I mean. I ordered the Vittoria Open Corsa Evo CX tires. I got them off ebay for about 65% of retail and they are sweet! The Cervélo test team races on them and they feel super grippy.

Now I have a rolling chasis!! Doesn't do much good without the cranks and brakes and chain and derailleurs and shifters and....yes I still have a ways to go : ) Making progress though and all thanks to my generous wife and family who gave b-day gifts for the bike fund. We enjoyed a great italiano feast (my favorite) and an excellent cake tonight! I love you all and thank you all so much!!

P.S. I revised "The List" (see below)...take a look
