I hope all my gym work will allow me to race on a 63T chainring with a 12T sprocket. 🤣😬 Thanks to @miche.italy for sorting me out with my first set of track chainrings and sprockets! I also got some shorter cranks (165mm), BBs and chains. Previously I’d been borrowing gears for races and training so now I finally have my own set! Planning to build up my new @biketechnologies frame just in time for the outdoor track in Dublin is allowed to reopen! I will dedicate a few posts to putting the bike together when I have a rest day. 💪

Happy #worldbicycleday people. Riding a bike has given me so much pleasure over the years and continues to be this odd little mobile beacon of hope; bringing joy and liberation to everyone who jumps on board. A marvellous mechanical role model, inert yet ‘living’ and an example of the good that humankind can do when we put our minds to it. ❤️ Here’s me in 1999 riding a bicycle as hard as I can, with the net result being a very moderate average speed... I never did quite nail the art of the Time Trial. Great 📸 by @philocphotos once again. #GreenKit #1999 #cycling #bikes #Spinaci #retro @oakleybike
