okay, so my tubes keep blowing up. what the hell. this has never happened before... and its like, days after installation, after miles and miles of riding... and then in the middle of the night. BOOM! maybe its the pressure? if anything wrong with gear itd have to be the bead being worn out on the clinchers? but thats not a cause... i dont know other than its annoying... and scary.
time to sell that stupid crosscheck. wouldnt sell well as a cross bike right now... but itd be less work. i was thinking about throwing on this NIB ultegra triple group, with bar end shifters and selling it as a sport tourer... and probobly for alot of money, but that takes effort. i could sell it as it is right now for decently cheap, but only after replacing chain and cassette... but its a 1x9 cross racer thats not geared incredibly well for the city... but i guess thats not my problem.
im really leaning towards building a cross bike next season.... it keeps appealing me more and more... gonna keep scouring ebay... but would really love a kelly steel cross bike, i think that fork is so incredibly good looking...

or on the complete opposite side of things, the condor terra x frame set...
dont even know where the hell id find one of those, but its sick.
black is gonna be my color scheme... keepin it simple.
