the cost of doing business

July 18, 2013

The Bianchi is back in business blowing bubbles in the 98122. Please take a moment to locate the derailleur nearest you, keep in mind it may behind you. This bike once again has a derailleur up front and one in the rear as well. It has fucking gears again and full-on friction shifters at the tip of my thumbs also known as thumb shifters. Six speed frictioned out allover a seven speed cassette. What could possibly go wrong? It’s like playing the viola, you gotta feel it, listen for it and find your gear. It’s in there somewhere.  Ask me about the learned helplessness of STI shifters and the sound of 10,000 unnecessary shifts on a false flat rise in the road.
