Paris Nice is done. I missed the whole race and didn't catch up until tonight. It has been a busy couple of weeks, but I was able to mostly stay on my schedule or find worthwhile substitute...
Multitasking, I spent a few hours working on Ti frames today while in the "office" and video chatting with a client. Client is a cyclist and has a genuine interest. We can talk for hours. One frame out of the jig after curing for a couple of weeks. It didn't need that long, but I have been too busy to get it done. This one is being built for credit card bike packing with aerobars. There is no clutched 12spd road or gravel derailleur yet so I'll build with mix of 2x11 Ultegra and GRX. There are also better choices of chains. Di2 with satellite shifters on the aerobars. Brake levers too. There is also a strong case for MTB/gravel bullhorns. They are more comfortable than riding the "tops" and most people don't ride the drops anyway. But all ofthat will be another day. Today I do the alignment check and start on finishing. swim this morning then 90km on the road, short track session with the UA girls this afternoon now cleaned up for dinner.
