New bars and rubber for the steed

Lemond Fillmore with bull horn bars and orange rubber

A couple of weeks ago I had to replace the old tires on my Fillmore as I’d worn through the green ones that came with teh bike. Took a bit of getting used to the orange but it’s definitely growing on me.

This last weekend I managed a puncture the inner tube while pulling the pump off which required a trip to Strada Cycles. I ended up replacing the bars and break callipers so it turned out to be a much more expensive trip than I was expecting. Just shy of £100 got me a new inner tube and I was back on the road again.

    Whow, the Fillmore looks great with Bullhorns and orange tyres … mine looks much more like a looser bike, and I ride it freewheel … ohh well … But I do love that bike, gets me from Peckham to Paddington every day! Good to see other coders cycling.
