Had a good chat with Gary and got my order in so now all I have to do is save the money for the frame and wait. I have gone for the polished frame with built in seat clamp and some custom touches as well to make the frame stiffer. Also gone for plain black stickers as they are more low key than the gold and black that the bikes normally have.
The frame is going to look something like this:
The registration for the Race on Sunday has closed. As it stands at the moment I have a good change of making the A final as there are 6 people I know that are faster than me and one of those is injured so if I ride to the best of my ability fingers crossed I can make my first regional A final. In my age group there are only 3 of us and one of the guys is in his first season so I should be able to finish ahead of him and the other guy pulled his hamstring last weekend so I may have a chance of taking first in my age group as well. To be honest even finishing 2nd will be the best result I have had in my age group.
I am not training again tomorrow as I have to go and pick up my Son's bike from Crucial. I have swapped out his frame for the Yess frame and haven't told him so it will be a surprise. I am going to keep his Haro frame for now to make sure he likes the Yess and if not I will sell the Yess frame again or build it up for me but I think it is a bit shirt for me but we will see.
I need to clean and polish both bikes ready to pack in the car as we will leave really early on Saturday morning so I want the car packed tomorrow afternoon ready to go.
I am thinking what to do with the S&M speedwagon. I think I may sell it as a complete bike and buy some wheels for me to use on the Yess for training to keep my current wheels good for racing. I have seen the StayStong wheels for £220 like the ones below, which means that I would have a big chunk of cash left over to go towards the Curtis frame.
Added to this I am going to take my Dialled Stay Strong to Crucial to get built up ready to sell as well to get some more cash to go towards the frame. I think that swapping out just the wheels makes more sense as I will really get used to the bike setup because at the moment both my bikes are really different sizes and geometry which makes it difficult to swap around. I definitely need some training wheels as I am casing a lot at the moment and my current wheels are really extensive and I don't want to mess them up too much.
As it is lighter at night now I want to start going to the track when I am working earlies as well so there will be no need to do sprints in the mornings as I can do them after work and ride my mountain bike to work which is sitting outside my house getting rusty at the moment.
