Got the New Bike Cleaned Up

Looks really great when its all cleaned up :D Thats one thing I've never been a master of... keeping my bike nice and shiny, it was always dirty lol.

Thanks Joey. I'll be doing a couple of posts in the future about simple post-ride cleanups and regular cleanups.

Nice looking ride Bryan! The Allez was one of my finalists 2 yrs ago. I really liked it. Just liked another bike better. Those rings can be replaced individually...well, anything can. Now your in a real nice ride. The wheelset alone will be faster on acceleration and at holding speed. I can't wait to hear how it rides the road. I think you are in for a really enjoyable year with 100's of miles. Oh - Happy New Year - Daveydave in Boston!

Thanks Dave and Happy New Year to you too. I'm really excited about the bike and am eager to get out on the road when the weather cooperates. I started riding the trainer yesterday in order to ease my sit bones back into it.

That is one sweet ride, and that's coming from a non-roadie! Congrats, man - Have fun with it!

Thanks.

No wonder you are so stoked about it - great bike. Wishing you many, many happy miles with it!

Thanks.

sweet! she's come up looking great. next time you're in Aus, drop by and you can give mine a wash too ;-)

If I ever make it down to Austin (I want to make a trip just to go to Mellow Johnny's) then I'll have to setup something with my readers down there.

Thats funny, coz it's not Aus...tin, it's Aus....tralia

LOL! That would be a long trip!

*Raises Hand* Jealous!

I appreciate that. This thing cleaned up so nice that I still can't believe it's mine.

Very nice! You can come clean my bike anytime.

I'm a very neat/tidy person and like things clean. I think it's a carryover from 16 years in the military and expecting things to be immaculate. If it wasn't so cold yesterday, and I had proper tools, I would have popped off the chain, cogs, and rings to really give'em a wash.
