Build Night
After short mileage today in buffeting winds, I declared this a "build night." The Cycles Toussaint Velo-Routier frame and fork have hung from a rafter hook since last year and I decided this night I would build her back up for occasional Spring gravel riding. To be honest, the allure of gravel has - for the most part, anyway - eluded me. I far prefer exploring neglected and forgotten back roads, those crumbling chipsealed blacktop roads few people except locals have need to travel. My Boulder meets those needs quite well, but from time to time I like to mix things up on a dedicated 650b rig.
