Project Eggbeaters: the arrival of sttorm

the arrival of sttorm

sTTorm rides like a dream. I took her out on a test ride along the canal before and it didn't feel like I was riding a bike at all.

Even with slicks, Shadowfax feels a lot heavier. But sTTorm, she rides like the wind. My legs were as light as air as I breezed by on the flat terrain. I whizzed past and heard the air whistle as I passed. When Hubba said to go faster, I accelerated and practically flew from one end of the canal to the other... or so it felt. Apparently I was going at around 30km/hr, which is a speed I've done on Shadowfax, but it sure as hell never felt that way before! Still love Shadowfax though, he's the best offroad steed in the world.

I'm definitely not used to the drop bars - even though I used to use them on Chetz's racer - or accessing the brakes and shifters from the hoods. Lord knows ho i used to use Chetz's oversized racer. (When you're a kid desperate for a ride, you get imaginative.)

One thing's for certain: I am seriously loving my bike.
