Oh Yeah. My Reign is back.
Funny thing is, on the way to Maroubra Junction Cycles (my LBS) it was sooo sunny, (hell there was even a guy lying down soaking up the rays on the lawn outside) but as soon as I got the Reign home it started raining hard! It’s a sign! Fuck this bike gets me excited.
Maroubra Junction Cycles is under new ownership now and Grant (the new owner) is getting some very cool bikes in. He let me bust this thing around the block today:
I thought it was going to be slow, but damn it’s fast! The gearing is light (that could be it). I couldn’t wipe the grin off my face riding it. I felt like everyone was staring at me (but I’m sure they weren’t but it just felt like I was doing something naughty and rebellious). Going off a gutter the tyres make this funny “FOMP” noise. Giggles all round.
Fixie project on display.
Grant and the boys have been following my progress since the single speed project. Not sure what they think of me exactly, but he offered to put my Ti bike up on display in the store. That’s fucking cool. I might just do it for kicks. :)
Reign final weigh in (slightly heavier with the new Fox forks).
PS: This is the aftermath from last night’s midnight railing session in my backyard (lol).
