Tumbleweed

Ja, that's how I am leaning, but I am itching to ride it! Have got some wheels I will pop on for now just to ride in the meantime. I was given a set of Fiamme rims. Haven't heard much about them before. And there's a set of F.I.R. rims at home somewhere too. I was supposed to go with my mate to see Ron Thompson this week, but we didn't get around to it...he might have...I will check tomorrow when I get the seatpost. As far as the provenance of the bike goes, only done a cursory bit of research. If my reading's right, it's no older than 1965 and no younger than 1968. Will delve further, but some Cinelli experts seem to think tracking a bike via its serial number is pointless. Grumpy thinks the hubs are older, but I wonder if that's wishful. Will, like with the frame, delve a bit deeper. The crank looks a lot "younger" too.

I keep trying to come up with a witty comeback to this...but just end up laughing more and more! Hahaha! Have a good weekend, lads!

Ooooooh, single? Shops for burger stuff too?

Got a case of Clausthalers at home - yeah, yeah, I know, it's not really beer per se - and am having a Grapes Works burger for sups.

Does she have a sister?

What tyres?

This one is staying "pure". I am actually in two minds about what to do about the decals. I can get, but I almost feel like leaving the frame clear apart from the head tube badge that dates the bike. What do you think?

Okay, the holiday is long over, but I read this recently... It's an alright read, but falls way, way short of the promise and hype. Pity really. Starts off so well. Funny, barbed, self-deprecating. But then it seems like she gets bored of telling her tale - the court case in particular is boringly handled, and leaves you to wonder about her innocence actually. The last couple of paragraphs of the book do kinda sum up things kinda nicely though.

A role model of mine when I was growing up...

Haven't seen it yet, but it and Dead Pool are on the weekend's plans!

Marchers belonging to political parties, civic organisations and student groups never vandalise anything. They are well known for gathering peacefully. It's when the Third Force pitches up that things go pear-shaped. And it's no coincidence that it is at that exact same time that the Fourth Estate pitches up to record only the bad stuff that happens.

Sorta...just reversing along...

I had slight problems with my fixie last week too...

Oh, and I these to tidy up and lace to something...

Only when Bafana win... Hahaha! It's actually a SA flag version of the Bavaria dresses that got those lovely foreign ladies arrested during 2010. A hubber got it for me to do the Nashua Mobile Ladies Race in back then.

Not too sure where to post this, so here it goes here...finally made this officially mine... It's kinda purdy, don't you think? The M&M man seems to approve..

On a slight tangent, a mate texted me last night with a typically South African reminder that she was getting old: "I have memories of Rabbit concerts..."

It's a Specialized...it's an improvement.

http://www.timeslive.co.za/thetimes/2016/02/10/Bar-Fly-Theres-a-tavern-in-the-town A city isn't a city until it has a church, a post office, a brothel and a watering hole. Early Jozi ticked all four boxes, and its old pubs are perfect to tell the story of the city, one round at a time. That's the inspiration behind the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation's "historic pubs tour", which takes place this Saturday.

Thought we'd stop to get out of the rain on yesterday evening's walk. Ghost didn;t know why...he loves walks in the rain... :-)

Saying nothing at all has everyone in a spin.

That's why I thought. Ta for the confirmation.

I liked how the light caught this St Joseph's lily in the morning...
