Nathan’s new bike arrived this afternoon. After jumping up and looking out the window anytime a truck drove by and one false alarm when a UPS driver delivered a package to the neighbors, my bike and pedals showed up in a couple boxes. The UPS driver loaded the boxes onto his dolley and said, “Oh. These are light.” Yeah. They better be.
The new bike is a 2006 Specialized Tarmac Pro. Obviously, it’s not a new bike, but it’s new to me. So I say that counts.
Next step is to put it together for real. Right now the bolts are tight enough to hold it together but not to ride. I also need some handlebar tape, a chain pin, and a quick tune up. Then I need shoes, a helmet, and shorts and a jersey. Plus a floor pump, a frame pump, probably a spare tube, a seat pack…
Any more pics? Have you ridden yet? Do tell! I want a full review!
Put the chain on and added bar tape yesterday. Bike Nut (http://www.bikenut.us/) even threw in a spare set of bar tape on the house. Took the bike apart and put it back together again. Gave it a minor tune up, though nothing was too far out of whack.
Haven’t ridden yet. That’ll have to wait until 10/23-10/25 when my shoes are supposed to arrive.
