behind the wheel

New Bike! (kinda)

I picked up a new bike a couple days go. It’s a 1982 Centurion Clic 10 speed road bike. Yes thats right it’s 5 years older than me! What can I say, it was only $65. On the way home Luke and I stopped by REI so I could pick up new tires, a rack, and some spare tubes. All told it cost me $165 to get home that night (bike included).  Very not bad in my opinion. I’m going to try to log all the upgrades and trips here, as well as photo-document everything on Flickr. Enjoy

And by the way, for any bike people that stumble across this, here’re the full specs as purchased, as described by seller (I haven’t gone to the trouble to confirm everything)
