stay

another black and white bike blip today.
this time it is because i'm trying to conceal what the photo is of while at the same time, teasing anyone who might be interested.

this is a stay on my new velo-orange fenders (OK - mudguards).
aluminium fenders (uppps, i did it again) are notoriously difficult to fit. sure, you can fit them and do up all the fitting and leave them. or, you can start the pursuit of the perfect fender-line (you'll get used to it....)

i've spent about an hour on them so far. going rate is about 5. when they're done, i'll post a picture here.
and yes, i do have a leather mudflap for them


sorry for those who think this is boring, but it was this or a picture of some racking in the stores at work. so think yourselves lucky blipland!!

now playing: 'fortress round my heart' by ida maria. an album with what is among the best 'side one, track one's ever.
the best is still 'solar plexus' from 'lank haired girl to bearded boy' by it's jo and danny
