New Bike Day

It’s new bike day!

I picked this frameset up a while back but it was missing the seatpost clamp. I wasn’t able to ride it until I could find one. This was impossible. I did find one for $150 on the west coast, but I didn’t want to pay that much.

I was thinking that I could print one. I heard that the originals were plastic. Just when I was getting ready to do it another Mataro popped up on Marketplace. I got the price down to what I wanted for the parts and got it.

Finally put this frame together. At 18lbs. it’s pretty light for me. I’ve rode it a few times now. Once Alleycat race. It feels really nice.

Will be riding it again tonight. Hope it’s not going to be too cold.
