chain-l is still awesome, after more riding (8 miles today) in the harsh rain and mud. ive put about 100 miles on my fixed gear with it in all conditions and its so quiet and awesome.
... anyway, im just really loving my zaskar recently. i just acquired (aka free) 2 older gt frames from the co-op where i work, ones a zaskar and one is a no namer (i think an outpost or timberline). im going to build the zaskar up into a trials-esque bike with a sweet machinetech x mavic 217 wheel i got for free. the other no name one was a complete bike and i rode it on some trails for a few miles (after i rode my carbon zaskar) and it was way way way worse than my carbon gt... obviously. it made me realize that my new zaskar is super awesome- the best geared mtb ive ever ridden- and way better than nostalgic old mtbs.
today, as the looming pittsburgh winter arrived, i realized that my time on a bike will be limited. i realized that i dont want the mtb season to end (technically it never ends cause i ride in all weather, but its hard to get motivated when its windy and wet and snowy and 10 degrees) and in order to keep myself motivated through the harsh next few months ive planned on doing 3 races. a M.O.M race at moraine park, and Heather Rizzi's races during thanxgiving and christmas. road season is practically around the corner (ughghch, i dont knwo why i do it), but soon thereafter, its mtb season again.
