Gloomy Saturday, Flat Tire

Click Photo to Embiggen
I'm basically done updating the bike, the only thing I would like to change is the mudflap on the front fender. I had a black one, so I used it, but eventually I would like to replace it with a brown one to go with all the other brown accents - look at those gorgeous tires. Aren't they yummy?

Speaking of the mud flap. It is a gloomy morning, it rained last night, and is supposed to rain more today. The fenders kept me dry, as fenders do, and the mud flap kept the bottom bracket clean and dry. Sweet! Swapping out the color of the mudflap is not urgent, but I will probably grab one next time I place an order from Velo Orange.

I rode to Walmart this morning, and the bike is fantastic. It isn't that much heavier than the Breezer, and I love being back on 700c wheels. The bike feels much smoother than the Breezer, I don't know if it is an aluminum vs steel thing, but It really damped down roughness in the road.

Speaking of roughness in the road, I got my first flat since I sold my car and started using bicycles as my primary mode of transport almost three years ago. I ran over a safety pin outside one of the gorgeous houses/mansions in Park Hill. It managed to work it's way through my beautiful brown Delta Cruiser, and around the tire liner inside to puncture the tube. It was, of course, on the rear tire.

I thought I had a patch kit in my bag, but I was wrong, I had a spare tube, so I got to change it out on the sidewalk. Beautiful neighborhood for it, and it wasn't a horrible experience. It took probably 15 minutes. I was glad it wasn't the Breezer, with the full chain case, and since the Gotham has the belt drive, I barely got dirty. Yay!

So, I still feel mildly cursed in relation to this bike, I managed to snap the bolt in the seat post clamp after I put my Brooks B-67 on it, and when I got home from Pet's Paradise today I saw that one of the super-industrial zip-ties that is holding the folding baskets on had pulled lose.

I love the bike though. If it was human I would fuck it.

There are various theories on why these old, vintage bridges were covered. Probably the most obvious is for safety. Based on town information, coated bridges lasted three times longer than normal bridges since it is far more safeguarded towards the elements. Also individuals have identified that coated bridges want lesser maintenance compared to bridges that don't have any protection. But for many, the cause for covering bridges is a more aesthetic one. Coated bridges have gained popularity due to its ability to please the eye. Many cities are even remembered because of the gorgeous coated bridges that may still be noticed and loved by tourists. Though no one knows for sure, these two factors are one of the most apparent.

Hello - cool bike! I've been considering one. How has your lasted over time? What size frame is it, and how tall are you? (Trying to get a relative frame size estimate.) Thanks!

It looks like the large frame, no?
