My fucking bike
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008
Finally! This past Sunday I bought my new bike. A 2008 Cannondale Bad Boy Ultra. I've wanted one of these for a number of years now, and after so much waiting, it is mine.
It is an urban assault vehicle, and a gorgeous piece of work. I chose this bike because I was attracted to how they implemented the "hybrid" aspect of it. The geometry of the frame is similar to a mountain bike, but slightly tilted up so the riding stance is not as aggressive as a full on street bike, but it is lighter in stature and weight than a mountain bike. It also comes with road tires, not the fat road tires, but the low profile, fast street tires. Overall an attractive balance of comfort, speed, and durability. Strong, yet graceful. Like a ninja.
It's also flat black all around. Like a fucking ninja.
Behold:
Now, she is not likely to win many speed competitions. You can get moving sure, but acceleration is not the strong suit of this ride. And that is fine by me, I don't need to win any races, I just need to cruise around town and dart in and out of traffic. Something that I think this bike is well suited for.
It is a responsive ride, and the head shok fork helps smooth out some of the bumps. However, it has a lock-out if you are so inclined.
I have a couple ideas for it to make her a bit leaner and add to the "assault" factor and whatnot. For starters I'm going to look into getting slightly narrower handlebars. The stance right now is fine but I would like it just a bit tighter, this not only suits my riding style but will also make it that much better for squeezing between cars stuck in rush hour traffic.
It really sucks that the forecast all week says rain. Oh well. Plenty of time left.
So, who wants to go for a ride?

Mr.
Tightness! This bike looks badass- just like a ninja.
Speaking of new bikes, Trish just got a new job with QBP (Quality Bike Products), and she loves it. We should get together soon at a local watering hole. Let me know what works.
PEACE
