Over Christmas I received some tools. I am currently studying in the automotive field and I will need good tools for when I become an apprentice, so it was a very happy Christmas, even though I am always more than happy just to spend it with my family. The tools will also come in handy for maintaining my bike. The tools are a 16 piece metric set of combination wrenches and a 3/8" drive flex head ratchet both made by a Canadian company called Jet.
This is my new bike that I have been working on since the summer. I am very happy with its progress so far. I was lucky enough get this bike for free and overall it is in good shape.
Things I have done so far are; new tires, tubes, rims, rear derailleur cable and housing, seat/seatpost, kick stand, stem, handlebars and grips with built-in mini bar ends. I plan on getting a seat better suited for long distances and touching up some scratches.
I am doing all of these things for a trip my cousin and I are planning for the spring. The trip will be about 200 km from Pickering, Ontario to my house in Prince Edward County, Ontario. I am also going to start an exercise routine for cyclists, so I will be prepared for the trip.
For anyone who is interested I have posted a link to the exercises I will be doing:
