No. 26 – DIY Golders Green – 105 Km

It’s a bit depressing to ride 100Km and have very little to say about it. Perhaps the fact that I managed a best average speed of 19.3 Km/h is a good sign for the future. Overall, a good smooth and quite uneventful ride.

Although I did it on the Pearson Fixie, I am increasingly inclined to sell it. I did whatever feasible to bring the handlebar higher and it is still lower than my Specialised Sirrus by 4-5 cm – at least. So it simply does not feel comfortable. It seems that my only remaining option is to change the fork. Even that is feasible, which I believe it is, I am not just looking at an extra expense of at least £100 but the end result may look absolutely hideous. So I guess I could just ‘cut my losses’ and sell it. It’s a bit sad, having invested so much in it but one has to know when to quit I guess.
