finally some pictures of my new whip and the components I used. since winter came so early and with such impact, I'll postpone the "bling-bling" new bike post to spring next year, when the snow has melted and I can clean everything properly without severely freezing my hands. until then, I'll just keep riding it.
the
SINGULAR PEREGRINE is a great frameset. it is not light but still agile, the geometry with it's flat angles and shorter top tube is more comfortable than a road bike and gives you good control, even in conditons that we are facing right now.
I'm using
SCHWALBE RACING RALPH tyres which have very good grip in snow and mud. they are not very good on ice or re-frozen snow on the streets, I guess a studded tyre like the
MARATHON WINTERanother great feature as a "can-do-it-all" bike is the dynohub powered lighting system from
BUSCH & MUELLER. I use the 60 lux version of their IQ CYO series and it's really bright and focused.
as you can see in the pictures above, I switched from the
NITTO MOUSTACHE handlebars to a road bar setup. I do like the special look of the moustache bars but was not really happy with hand positions and the overall width. if you are interested in those bars, I'm selling them for 40 euros. leave your e-mail adress in the comments and I'll get in touch with you.
