I want my training partner to get his health back. He’s been plagued by some weird sh** over the last year. He’s had two bad crashes, as well as some weird nerve thing in his hand. He’s been a bloody pain in the ass saying “Can’t ride, I am hurting today”, and I want him back so I can burn him on the hills.
What stuff do I want? New C-record with a Ghibli disc and Bora front wheel. I know Ghibli is totally impractical, knowing that a Renn disc is like a zillion times cheaper and easier to get. Put that on a Mondonico or a similar Italian pinned AND tacked lugged-steel frame. I said pinned and tacked. That’s as old-school as you can get.
I’ll stick with what I have for another year, I’m afraid…
