Right now, it doesn't leave the trainer. The brakes don't work :whistles:
My bf said it would be too expensive to fix everything wrong with it (it came from his mom's garage) and that I should just get a new one by the time we bought new brakes etc. Then he went to Canadian Tire to pick up a pump for me and discovered you can buy bike components for cheaper than tri/Cervelo stuff, so we got new brakes and cabling for....$30-40 I think. It just needs to be put on to make it road worthy.
I will try to keep a look out for cheap road bars too then! Maybe I can convince him to go to Canadian Tire this weekend to look for road bars since I want to go to the Petsmart and there's one next to it. And then I could get the bar tape! :grins:
I do want to ride on rail trails with the bike once I'm done my big race in July, since I'm a massive wimp about riding on roads, so I would like the bike to be road-worthy but I don't anticipate being super hardcore about it or anything.
