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

Litespeed Pictures

At last, and they're not very good quality pics either and if I had thought about it a bit more I would have found a plain background to take the pictures against. Never mind. I continued rebuilding my Litespeed this morning; why is it that nothing ever seems to go smoothly? I had a few problems getting the rear mech hangar on and getting the rear brake bolt seated correctly, both due to the extra paint from the respray. It doesn't help that I was being extra careful as I didn't want to damage the paintwork before I ride it in anger. As you can see there is still a bit to do; primarily to get the seatpost in properly, add chain and then cable it up. I'm quite impressed with how well the dark grey of the Ultegra SL groupset goes with the white paintwork, and the Planet X carbon fibre bottle cages are the icing on the cake.

Hope you all had a good Christmas and are looking forward to 2010.
