New Girl in Town

The tears shed over the departure of my first IF were quickly forgotten when the masters from Somerville sent down this new totally kick ass deluxe singlespeed. The setup from last season's geared racing bike was so nice that I wanted to put together the ultimate wrist snapping machine, only for this one I opted for the "feel of steel". The extra weight of steel over Ti was more then offset by the Lefty carbon fork (featuring the mandatory Team Seagal sticker and using a 321 adapter), chain tension is maintained via the Paragon sliders, allowing for vertical drops and Jones H bars which aid in being able to hold a beer after a 100 mile race. All of this is topped off by a Tahitian Pearl paint job that, like a black pearl, changes from deep green to deep blue to black depending on the sun, and of course I honor my wife who supports all my racing by naming the bike after her.
