New Chariot

Well, I finally took the plunge and purchased my new chariot with which I plan to cross the country. This beautiful lugged steel frame is made by Rivendell Bicycle Works in Walnut Creek, California, and is the stuff that dreams are made of.

While the bike is definitely not what one would call "light," it's construction is rock solid, and it rolls over the pavement like a hot knife through butter. I look forward to becoming more acquainted with the bicycle in the coming months as I prepare for the ride.
