Somehow, I've resisted the urge to get a new bicycle. Instead, I've decided to shop at home. My old "pink" racing bike has become unsuitably uncomfortable to ride. I've installed a raised stem, and will be toning down the pink a little. (if this is at all possible)
I'm also making my Nashbar Hounder fixie a little more pleasant. It will have a better saddle, a rear rack, and mustache bars. This will be my grocery getter when complete.
My old GT Karakorum, resplendent in studded tires for winter, will also get a new stem, handlebars, and grips to accommodate middle age. (mine, not the bike's)
I'll post pictures when the projects are done. There is a lot to be said for shopping at home, both economically and environmentally.
