Bike gone, no more bikes she said...

Sold my Cross bike today, and the new owner is getting a bargain! Ruth says i need to cut down on the amount of bikes and bike parts i own , so i flogged it, and gonna build up a hack bike to commute using the bits i have lying around, so two birds , and all that....... i say hack, i dont really own "hack" stuff, as such, so using the Paul Milnes SL cross frame set my bro in-law gave me, a set of White Ind cranks in 170mm w/38t ring on it, some pauls neo-retro canti's, cane creek levers, and an old wheel set i have lying around until my ENO hub turns up, and i say old, hope ti hubs on touring rims.... , carbon bars and post, and surly cassette cog and surly spacer kit and tensioner, not what people would call a hack bike!

So the cellar is one down, but not for long! 'cos of the worlds being on, my interest in track has been re-kindled, so im now gonna build up a track bike, with the intention of racing the manchester track league on friday nights (until i get promoted to tuesdays...) so im now trawling ebay for shamals or atlanta rims, campy cranks, etc.......... gonna take my time though, bit by bit,wont be that noticable, and ill probably get away with it.........
