The deed is done! As mentioned elsewhere, I saw a blue Joe with green-wrapped Noodles at the Bike Snob Book Talk ride last weekend, and went kind of bonkers over it. Which was weird because I thought I preferred mustard, I supposedly gave up dropbars, and a 51 with drops should be too big for me. Well it fit and I loved it, but I already had my money down for a mustard 52 CLEM.
Well I couldn't get it out of my head (thank you, ELO) and I was in the middle of a week off work, so I decided to ride my eCLEM to RBWHQ on Tuesday to show of my bike, pick up a basket, and oh golly just maybe take another look at Blue Joe. I took it for another spin, and we tossed around the idea of whether it was actually for sale or not (it's a non-listed demo), and the conclusion was maybe it was if maybe I decided I wanted it sometime maybe. Well two more days went by, then Roman and I had a little chat and it became readily apparent that this particular build in this gorgeous non-returning color was going to find its way to my HQ. So I found the bus schedule, got thee hence to Walnut Creek, bought that baby, and rode it home! Isn't it pretty? Nitto stem and post, 44cm Noodles, Silver bar-ends, Shimano levers and (CX-70?) cantis, Brooks B17 ti (I brought that on the bus), Sugino triple, Claris fd, Deore rear, Synergy hubs and rims, Continental DoubleFighter 2.0 tires. It rides like buttah. https://m.flickr.com/photos/18972972@N08/27255062514/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
