Despite the heavy rain I decided to ride my bike to work. I was wet and dirty, but enjoyed it very much!
Tomorrow the weather is supposed to clear up, I hope so, cause I’m going to get a haircut and all.
Bikes rock!
Our mission bicycles have finally arrived. The excitement was total and we assembled them post haste.
There were some disappointing factors. I felt that my bike was a little to large for me, despite sending exact measurements.
Also the front fork clanks quite a bit, there are gaps in the assembly. I’ll have to take it to a local shop to be looked at.
As for Vlad’s bike, it was perfect, except that both front and rear rims had some scratches on them. Hard to say if it was due to rough shipping or bad packaging, but when we opened up the box nothing looked out of place.
Other then these minor (and some not so minor) issues, the bikes handled like a dream and we rode them through the pouring rain with joy.
Just our luck that after days and days of tropical heat, today had to be the day that the tropical rain started.
It better not rain tomorrow!
Update 2008-09-04: Mission is sending me a new frame and replacement parts so I can fix the problems with my bike! Yay!
