After all these years…. I am still in love
today was a busy day…. between running around doing kid stuff and wife stuff I was able to resurrect my 1993 Bridgestone X01. A few years ago it got scavenged for parts… I am not very good a keeping all my bike together working in perfect harmony and the Bridgestone has payed the price in recent years. Today with a quick trip to the Local Bike Shop… and a few dollars later I was able to get it back on the road.
Currently it is set up to be a single speed rugged urban commuter. It has a nice pair of Conti Town and Country 26 x 2.1 tires, a 40 x 16 gear ratio, a new pair of Wellgo platform pedals, and a nice planet bike clip on fender.
I love all my bikes… but I love this one something special. I have ridden this bike off and one since 1993. At times it has served as my primary mountain bike, I have toured the mountain roads and trails of Ecuador on it, I have loaned other bikes to friends knowing I have the X01 to fill the gap. I can honestly say I am more fond of this bike today than the day I got it.
Welcome back X01!
