About done, just a little fine tuning

I'm not quite finish yet on my build but it's ready to ride. I got my White Hudz yesterday so I was able to finish wrapping my handlebars. At this point I need to ride the bike to figure out what I needs to be adjust, already I know I need to shorten the chain. Not sure why I'm having issues with figuring how long the chain needs to be, I didn't have any problems with both my cross bikes. One thing I noticed about this build is it took me longer to get everything on and adjusted. Not sure why? My cross bikes are the same except for the brakes.

As for my stem I'm using a Salsa Scandium stem 0 degree, I think I want to go with a 6 degree stem but I'm not sure if I want to go with a white stem or black. I think the white will be too much.

Might also do a zero offset seatpost, I don't know black or white but once again too much white?

As for my Mavic Ksyrium Sl with the cheap tires, they're going to disappear and in their place a set of Red Chris King hubs laced to Ambrosia Crono F20 rims with, ok I don't know what tubulars I'm going to run yet. I think my clincher days are about over. Once you ride a tubular tire for road or cross, you ass doesn't want anything else. I was going to use the Ambrosia wheelset for my Rock Lobster but I just might have another set made up if I like the ride plus if I can find a set Ambrosia rim here in the states. I wish someone would make a nice box rim with machine sidewalls and that's light. How hard can that be?

Once I'm done I'll take a better pic and list build for this bike.

When a bachelor cleans the bathroom

I'm such a bachelor when comes to cleaning, some days I think what's the point? I'm not trying to impress anyone and it's not like my house is filty. And yes I do use a shop vac to clean my floors.

But it figures I try to rush the job of cleaning the bathroom which I just made a bigger mess. I scrub down the whole shower but I can't hose down the upper walls of the shower since the shower sprayer(sorry brain dead can't think of the word) won't spray that high, so I go get a bucket and fill it up. Instead of gently pouring the water down the wall I throw the water up against the shower wall. I'm sure you guess it, most of the water bounce off the shower back on to me and everything else in the bathroom. Lesson learn you can't skip steps, I think? HAha!

Clearance, wool & waiting

I just had to put my cross wheels on the new road bike. Look Jason 3mm of mud clearance! Nevertheless there isn't any air in those grifos.Got my Wool Hup United jersey last weekend, it even has the 3 pockets in the back. I'm still second guessing if I should had got a small instead of the medium but I'm sure I'll shrink in the wash, I'm goood at that. I still look good in it plus it goes well with my counting sheep PJs bottoms.
One thing about a bike build I hate the most is waiting on parts to arrive. Still waiting on a crank I bought ebay about 10 days ago plus a chain & cables set. I just realize I need a 10mm spacer. By next week I should have it completely built up. It might be a good thing to since I'm having issues with my knee but it's feeling better.

Peace out girl scout!

Up to no good again; PLUS packages!

One Small box filled with HUP United water bottles!

One big ass box fill with a ton of paper & bubble wrap (sorry no pics of Elwood and Me going nuts with tearing everything up) Oh and one Neo Exile carbon fiber frame and fork. Got one HELL of a deal on the bike and it has less than 50 miles on it. Personally I would had love to get a custom but road racing isn't my bread and butter. That's reserve for cyclocross. I wanted something simple for training and some crits races for this summer.

Sweet!

By this weekend I'm going to have a sweet wool Hup jersey and no the XXL isn't mine, I wear a medium. Ok it's alomost 2 am time to go to bed!

Mmmmm.....beer

I'm know for drinking the stout beers (hey I'm skinny, trying to put some weight on). But I love a Pilsner too, plus it's a Pennsylvania's beer. Lionhead is brewed in Wilkes-Barre, PA. I have to say there are quite a few PA beers that are very tastey. By the way they did change the label (sorry no pic, too busy drinking one these bad boys) but it's the same great beer for $14 a case. Cheap & great, you can't lose!

Someone is up to no good

And that would be ME!

CX guy with road brakes, what gives?
