[RBW] Sam gets a makeover and an odd riding experience

2013-06-18 Thread bwphoto
Gave Sam the road bike a makeover last week, bars re taped with fresh red 
Neubaums tape with a few coats of clear and amber shellac. Also added red 
anodized VP0001 pedals. So I took him on across town to pick up my wife's 
car...got a few nice bikes along the way. Stopped at Minnehaha Falls 
along the way for a beauty shot! Pictures here:

Along the way I passed two riders one on a curved downhill and the other 
making a 90 degree curb cut crossing each holding a phone between their 
shoulder and their ear both were adults and neither looked or rode like an 
experienced rider. The one making the crossing was at a potentially 
dangerous intersection, she just kept talking away as she crossed. Looks 
like we now have entered the distracted cyclist stage...granted they were 
no danger to me but I'd hate to see what either would have looked like if 
they went down.

I often think I should have bought one of the single TT Sams while they
were available. Great looking bike.

Cheers,
David
