Third string backup standing by. Waiting for a chance to show what she can do. Not much day-to-day experience. Coming off recent surgery, she spends most of her time on the sidelines, holding a clipboard, wearing headphones and pretending to be interested in the game. However, like the Dolphins’ QB, she’s only two plays away from getting in the game.
It’s a luxury to have a 3rd string rain bike collecting dust sitting around with old sleds, scrap lumber and a RAGBRAI wind sock.
I’ve had her for 11+ years but she sits around a lot. A lot. She now has new wheels, new tires, a new drivetrain and a new bottom bracket on the way. I agree with Stevil about the dumb tan sidewalls, but choices are limited in the 27” tire department.
I don’t really trust her yet. We haven’t been through much together. She hasn’t been the go-to bike over the years. The day-in-day-out ride. But she’s only two plays away.
Is it raining?
