The big brown truck pulled up to my house this afternoon delivering a few eagerly awaited parts for my Long Haul Trucker. The Brooks Flyer came from Wallingford Bicycle Parts. It's a beautiful saddle. I knew it was going to be heavy but I wasn't prepared for just how heavy it actually is. My recently surpressed roadie weight weenie attitude was trying to rear it's ugly head. Comfort is my new priority. The Nitto M-12 rack came from Milwaukee Bicycle Company. This is the version that has the dual eyelets on the stays for mounting lights. My order from Velo Orange should arrive tomorrow. All I need now is something to mount this stuff on.
I started this blog a couple of years ago when I used to print and sell t shirts with bike related designs. The name of my blog was the name of my business, Rat Trap Press. Rat Trap, referred to the old style road pedals, and Press of course referred to my screen printing press. Due to some sudden unexpected expenses I had to sell my screen printing equipment. I decided to stick with the name, RTP, and continue writing about my relaxed paced adventures around Fort Worth, Texas. Please take some time to say hello.
