I've ridden very little over the week - not enough to make me happy. Except a few times inside my home and yesterday at The Hub. I had to bolt right afterwards to go to a funeral. The only thing that is keeping my cycling sanity is my desire to pimp out my cyclocross bike! That has become my agenda. Not only did I dig Cross this season - but I have really enjoyed riding my cross bike as a winter bike. So the plans are being laid. I do not have enough money to buy new stuff so I am looking for "gently used" ebay stuff. Being new would be the best - but I lack the grip!

So the plan: First the Bike - a 2006 Kona Jake the Snake - Neon Orange. I love this frame. Here is a kick ass Kona photo:

Here is me on the bike at Bubba Susan in the pain cave!


My planed upgrades: Reynolds Ouzo Pro Cross fork (OH Yeah and already bought) Spooky brakes (Dope) Paul cross levers (I've been debating about scraping the levers - however, I think I like them) WCS bars - (I'm debating on carbon or Alum.) WCS Alum. Stem and seatpost. I have my eye on some used WCS tubular wheels too! Yeah - some bucks but I think it will worth it - if anything in the pimp factor. The rest of the bike has 105 and my old Ultegra cranks. I'm OK with the components. I will keep up with the upgrade progress!
