Pretty much the only thing I didn't buy or make for this was the back wheel which I'd taken off my tandem cause my little brother broke the fork on it.
Guys...I really want to do a long ride, like at least a metric century but...hardly anybody I know bikes, and the ones that do don't ride road bikes. I was watching Long Riders! and had to stop because it was seriously bumming me out. Bikes are something I really care about, and it hurts that I can't share that joy with with the people I love.
