NO LOVE HANDLES ALLOWED!

'It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.' Theodore Roosevelt 23 April 1910

I hate it when this happens

I stripped my Litespeed down yesterday ready for its winter rebuild. Almost everything came apart as it should without drama, but its always the little things that mess you about. The screw holding the cable guide under the bottom bracket had seized solid, and in trying to remove it it sheared off. So instead of getting on with cleaning it up and then rebuilding it, I now have to get the old bolt drilled out, have the hole re-tapped and quite probably have the frame re-sprayed as well. Oh well, c'est la vie.
