Bike finally arrived

My Sunday Model C finally arrived from the depot in Bristol where it has been for 3 days!!!!!

I have just built it up and I am going to test it out at the track once I have done some gates this morning.

Here are some photos of the build. It was really straight forward and took 10 minutes.

The bike looks and feels amazing and it is much lighter than I was expecting.

I am just getting showered and dressed ready to go to the track so I will have a report in a few hours on how it rides.

Just got back from the track and the Tioga power blocks are really good they feel really fast and seem to cover more ground per peddle that the maxxis that I am used to.

I had a quick go on the Sunday and it feels really strange compared to the Yess as it is really high up with big bars and a higher bottom bracket. I don't did 2 laps and managed to jump the table top first go but slipped a peddle and gashed open my shin! The second lap I managed to move the back wheel out of alignment and so was unable to ride it any more.

I did a few more laps on the Yess and then called it a day as I have to race tomorrow and I didn't want to hurt myself any more for today.

I have just got a couple of photos from last weekends racing. I am pretty pleased and the 2 guys I am with are usually in the A finals so I am definitely getting better.

 I want to get this weekend out of the way and then I have 2 weeks to train really hard for the Bristol race which I think is my best chance to make an A final this year as it is the track that I ride the most. In the 2 weeks I will do one day full laps one day breaking the track into straights.
