New frame

Had a chat with one of the dads from the club and he is going to swap a brand new Ice F-118 cruiser frame that he won last winter for my Thrill.

Not sure what to do with it really but it is easier to store than the complete bike so I will get it and decide what to do with it later.

Here is a picture of a built up ice frame:

The frames are supposed to be really good but I am really liking my Yess at the moment so I may sell the Ice as I have the Curtis frame coming by the end of the year so I have a couple of builds to think about.

I wasn't planning on building the Curtis any time soon anyway so I may keep all three and build up the Curtis and ice at the same time to use the same wheels as they are both going to be disk brake frames.

I may also take the Yess apart for the winter and use the ice instead with V brakes for now and all of the bits from the Yess to see if I like it and if I do I can build it up from there.

I also have the dialled frame that I want to try before I sell it to see if I like it too so I am not sure what to do. Decisions decisions.

More important than bikes at the moment is body armour and a new helmet to make sure I don't get so broken the next time I get something wrong and end up on the floor I am getting too old for being hurt all the time.

I am feeling a bit better today my ribs in the back are really sore but I am able to lie flat on my back or on my side now with little to no pain of I don't move so I can at least switch between positions when one starts to get painful. I have now stopped taking ibuprofen and am just taking paracetamol every 4 hours instead of taking paracetamol every 4 hours and ibuprofen every 4 hours staggered by 2 hours.

The last time I broke my collar bone and ribs the doctor said to not take ibuprofen as it slows down the healing process so this time I have only used it for the first couple of days when the pain was really bad.

I am hoping that I can be back on my bike in a couple of weeks as we have the SW championships in 3 weeks and I want to race as the caravan is paid for and I found out yesterday that it is non refundable! So if I am going I might as well race 😀
