My "new" ride

[The Pirate]

This is my second wife, away from home. I build her up from a frame and fork I bought on the hub about a month ago, the rest is all new parts. She is 4th bike and she is replacing her auntie which is a 1997 Eddy Merckx MXLeader. Almost 3 kilograms in weight difference. Took her for her first race at Bela Bela. Bit nervouis, but she rides like the wind.

Yes it sure did Christie. Funny enough I took her to Suikerbosrand for my first ride about 2 weeks ago. Saved long and hard for her.

Thanks Joss. I'll take a few pics this weekend of her bike and the tandem and post them all next week. Our tandem also looks very nice
