Much needed TLC for my much neglected smurfette. I plan to ride my road bike a lot more this year than ever, because, why not. It is a beautiful steel frame with some very nice old-school components and it spends most of the time jealous of the Frenchie. Anyways – She got much love from the sweet boys over at Freewheel on Hayes st. ♥You guys rock. Testing how that vicious cranky crank is behaving soon. Riding in progress.

ReplyDeleteYay, Smurfette!! So great with the flower.
ReplyDeleteSmurfette is a class act... just like it's owner. :)
ReplyDeleteI might be buying a bike with drop bars, soon... because it's a Kabuki. How many bikes are too many???
Again, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteChiaraKael/ yeah, I never take for granted the multiple playgrounds here for all types of bike lovers. The whole bay has great routes, which personally I plan to explore soon and expand my experience as an overall cyclist.
ReplyDeleteThat'd be great if you do, please keep me posted if you do visit :)
Dottie/ ♥something about our love for our blue bikes eh!?
those little flowers made me smile all day
SpiderLegGreen/ that's very sweet, thanks!
Really? no doubt, I'm with you – the more bikes the merrier
Nick Johnson/ ;) thanks!
ReplyDelete! deer? where do you go see deer??
ReplyDeleteand also-- lovely photos, as always.
ahhh....Marin....say hello for me. I look forward to living even more vicariously through you and your bicycles!
ReplyDeleteglad to see you on the torpado. the brooks saddle is a nice touch. i hope you kept the original brake levers to use on your next retro road bike project :)
ReplyDeletemarin has great roads... and now that you're becoming a roadie you should join me next time i'm out there, i plan on riding to the top of mt. tam again.
baristatomic/ those lovely little ones ar all over Marin county (north of SF). That from long ago, I snapped while taking a break at a very small town. Thanks for the nice comments & stopping by
ReplyDeletesigrid/ oh yes, I'll def. will for you!!
c_c_rider/ yo? roadie-Frenchie forever!! haa, no ok maybe sometimes. This is the only roadie accessory I'll need next, I was just letting a pal know about it: road 'soda' Look at you, lycra lover roadie. nice legs :)
I love the fresh flowers on your smurfette--that is the best thing ever!
ReplyDeleteI love that you name your bike Smurfette!
ReplyDeletehow is it riding on those pedals in "normal" shoes? i love yr bici's look! i still hate going up the steep hills, but going to marin is totes worth it!
ReplyDeletemike/ thanks! somehow I ended up with two blue bikes :D
ReplyDeleteThe one I use 99% of the time though is the Frenchie, that has almost no white.
the calitexican/ That day I picked it up I actually walked. I'm a clipless novice, but Marin and going the distance for rolling hills around the whole bay is def. worth it. I have a pair of sidi's shoes I have only used once, I have leg warmers and socks that cover half of them, so they appear semi-normal :P Updates on that later on...
maryJo/ I know right! It was the sweetest little surprise in a long time♥
