This is the history of a 23 years old bycicle :
In late october 2011, my aunt found an old bycicle in the garbage in her neighborhood. She called me and asked me if I wanted a project bike so that I could work on it and have a bycicle to travel around town.
I accepted.
The bike was at first, in poor conditions. It had unaligned wheels, old & rusty brake and speed cables, old brakes, it had tires, but they were all ripped off.
So I went to the local Canadian Tire, and I bought
-Brake & speed cables;
-Brakes;
-27" Tires & Trip;
-Manual tire pump.
After fitting the parts on the bike, it was rolling! We had to re-align the wheels and tighten some bolts, but the bike seemed to be in pretty good shape.
About 2 days later, I put the first aeromod on the bike :
Made of coroplast and hold up by zip-ties.
In May 2012, I bought a Trip Computer, a Cataye Velo 8 :
I have made a boat-tail to the bike after to do some P&G tests. And I liked it so much I decided to keep it :
Made of coroplast and duct tape hold up by zip-ties.
Since May 2012, I've travelled
1575 kilometers (last updated : 29/04/2013).
Lastly, I was thinking about making some trips this year (2013) and I wanted to do a complete report on those.
I want to film and take alot of pictures, I also want to document the trips with alot of information and post it on this thread.
