inspired to an extent by simon’s post yesterday and the fact that because of the damage to my bianchi, i’m riding my other bikes more at the moment, i submitted to my pompinos teasing and took a few pictures of it.
after being de-winterised and cleaned last night i left it standing in the kitchen overnight. i came down this morning and it was standing bathed in the sunlight streaming in through the window.
in that instant i was reminded of how i love this bike. how many thousands of kms we’ve ridden together. how comfortable and reliable it is…
so i’ll take the hipster accusations (there aren’t too many fixie hipsters to tag onto in rural leicestershire!) and i’ll understand that other people will get more excited about the carbon bianchis locked away in the shed and i’ll enjoy my pompino, whether you do or not…
