Not really… Perfect weather today so I took out the OLD de bernardi out for a ride. It’s gotten an odd facelift as of late, 32mm Paselas(barely fit, but they fit) and a front Wald rack. It fares surprisingly well off road, the next steps being a brake and a shorter gear. The trick with the basket is intelligent bungee use so that your beer doesn’t fly out the basket over rough terrain.

We just got in the Ahearne/MAP bars and they are tempting me to put them on the de bernardi… 60$

Also resupply on Soma sparrows(similar to the Ahearne but 40$), Pake space straps, conti gatorskins, ultrasports, now in white! and GR-9s in black.

I finally got around to getting a picture in front of this earthen fort that they built in the park behind the old shop. They built it last fall for a civil war reenactment in the park and it’s still up, it was a fairly odd scene originally. Since the city went for this t’s hard to imagine what they wouldn’t permit. Now it has downed trees and power-lines overtaking it’s walls. I’m going to get some better pictures as soon as they get rid of the downed power-lines.
