Nice and warm yesterday while riding Chrome Molly here at Subic Bay Freeport Zone. The Boardwalk is about a mile long and has little traffic as it follows the coastline.

I snuck in a good test ride after finding a longer seat post to swap out on JC Piggins. I wanted more comfort from the brick hard seat & tried raising the sissy bar to the highest position. It gave me a better pedaling position & was able to slide forward a bit where there's a little more padding. Made a big difference! It kinda helps balance out those ridiculous ape hangers too! While riding, it looks to actual scale of a kid on a 20".

I rode Maurice on Saturday but didn't take pics. Too busy rockin', ridin' & having fun! Since being asked to lead the Old Bikes Club next month I've declared it "Ape-ril" & encourage everyone to ride their ape hanger/high rise bar equipped bike. Don't have one? You have a month to build or borrow one for the ride!

I caught the blast from the snow storm rolling in on my way home & the upright position turned my back into a sail! Especially when my hoodie flipped up. This bike is a blast to ride! I have more options to try out in the weeks ahead. Mr. Piggins may end up with a late 60's update in the end......

I never took a ride of any length on the 1901 Mixte. After changing the bars and airing up the tires, away I went. It's got a good cruising gear, 52/18 with 27" wheels. 79 Gear inches, no uphill for me.

The 27" wheels look huge next to 26" wheels.

Thanks dude! That bike went thru a change recently and I added that cassette cause it fit the bike perfectly.

Took an extended lunch after visiting a customer out east. Had the place to myself & perfect soundtrack provided by Serius XM's Ozzy's Boneyard. Super fun!

The sun came out just as I got to the track for a couple hours of fun on Easter. Kinda cool how the shadow from my bike made a cross. Thankful for another blessed day!

 

[Da Gas Man]

Amen.

I rode one more time with the group RespectCyclists through Berlin and @camus joined as well.
