Turku FTW

It is a saturday and I’m sitting in Turku’s best bar drinking an American IPA. Yesterday was pretty crazy, cycling with the guys from TQHCFR. After a quick beer on the river bank we took off to check out a stash of cycling parts one of the local guys, Matti, had assembled. I love riding after a guy who has ridden the route a hundred times and polished all the slow stuff out in favor of all out mashing experience.

Anyway, the stash had been mostly sold already, but the cherries were in my opinion plentiful and ripe for picking. In minutes I found a Cinelli drop bar and stem I had not been able to find online. I also picked up a gorgeous Monoplanar-brake which I am going to install on Nina’s Pista.
A lot of the Turku riders already sport stuff from the stash. There had been a bunch of old Rossin track pursuit frames painted Bianchi celeste due to a sponsorship and they look pretty awesome on the street. I didn’t want to admit this to Nina right away but I had to buy one of those frames once I got my hands on it. Well that, and the Turku guys were really selling it to me. Don’t blame them, I blame the addiction.
