59cm Kogswell P/R, 26" wheels
Thanks to Pavel for buying my Centurion, enabling me to finally build up the Kogswell P/R frame I bought from Malcolm (via James Stacher, thanks guys!) though I’m still dialing it in a little, and hadn’t yet trimmed/capped off wires as of this shot.
Thus far it rides really comfy around town, and I can’t wait to see how it feels fully loaded. The risers won’t be ideal for long distance, so I may look for an alternative that won’t cut into the cetma’s space too much.

Worked on my bike some more today.
This bike, however is not mine.
This bike, however, is interesting.
It's called a penny-weird-thing.
And basically it's a penny farthing with a small front tire. . .how anyone will ride this i don't know, but it truly is a work of art.
OK, so why this picture for today you ask?
Well, today felt kinda backwards... kinda topsy turvey . . .
And well, that's kinda how this bike is.
Today wasn't bad, I just felt slightly off kilter--but in a good way.
