This post is an open love letter to my #bicycle.
It's a titanium frame built by Bill Davidson, who has been crafting similar bikes for almost 50 years here in Seattle. It has one front chainring, because I just don't have any use for a front derailleur. The extra-wide casette has one of those new fancy narrow chains and electronic shifting. (Which kind of makes me nervous because it's difficult to service by myself, but for a couple years now it's been fine.) It has silent hubs made by Onyx - probably my favorite parts of the bike. The wheels are HED - nice and light but I run them with tubes - and the tires are Conti - it's funny how much they improve the experience. I was inspired by Devine's bike page https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/bike.html -- maybe someday my bike will be as cool, with stickers from around the world.
I've been riding pretty consistently but I don't Strava or anything - quantifying my progress kind of takes me out of the reverie in the moment.
It's sunny outside today but I didn't even go for a ride - I took these photos instead. Not sure whether I regret that now or not... but I hope to see your #cycling content if you'd like to share.
