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

Almost complete ...

The flat-bar commuter is almost complete. Mudguards are fitted, new brake blocks fitted and brakes adjusted, new chain fitted (although may need a couple of links removing), a bell with integral compass - a gift from my daughter - has also been fitted to ensure I know which direction I'm heading (as distinctly different from actually knowing where I'm going!), rear light fitted, need to rob the front light off the PX and fit that, gears need adjusting, need to fit a new rear inner tube. And that's about it.

Pictures soon. I bet you can't wait!

I think you'll find Sag's comments refer to the fact he does most of winter on his single speed Kelda.
