So this weekend there was a bike swap extravaganza in Collinsville hosted by Trailnet. I was able to pick up almost everything I need to put my bike together when the frame gets to my house, probably on Friday.

I got two sets of handlebars; a set of pursuit bars with the arm extensions and a pair of ergonomic/anatomic (not quite sure which one to call it) Salsa drop bars. I got a Sugino messenger 44 tooth chain ring to match the crank set that I’m getting off my husband’s fixed gear. I also got a stem and even if it doesn’t fit well, I’m only out $10.

I’m getting my husband’s Open Pros and yesterday I ordered some Continental Sport Tires from E-bay. Later this week, I’m going to pick up a bottom bracket from Randy’s Recycled Cycles and try to find a saddle lying around the house that I can use. I love my old Schwinn ladies anatomic saddle but I’ve been informed that it would be ridiculous to have one saddle for two bikes.

I’m so excited!!!!

I just have to get this out there….

 I ordered my Pre Cursa frameset last night!!!

If you can’t tell, I’m a little excited. I hope everyone has an awesome day because I know I am.
