I have drunk from the cup

Well I have done it. After debating for a awhile now I finally got a single speed cross bike for this coming season. It was a bit of coin but I think it will work out. I rode it recently with brother Bruce at the golden gate course and was able to stay with him without any trouble so I should be able to be at least as competitive as last year. That's the theory anyways.
The specs: Waterford X33 frame true temper steel, Alpha Q fork, Chris King SS hubs and head set, Record carbon brake levers, White industries eno crank, Thomson seat post and stem. all the good stuff.
A couple of pics by me.

A present for me

I just love the looks of the old Raleigh/Schwinn 3speeds, been thinking about restoring and old one when this little beauty showed up at the shop. So I said to by better half wouldn't a nice single speed be great for taking the kids to the park? And so it now is in the garage with a expanding fleet of other bikes.
Took Oscar out on it tonight for his walk worked well for that.
