Bah humbug. Finally got the seat on this afternoon. Thanks again!!! Initial ride it was noticeably more comfortable. I’ll go on longer ride tomorrow morning to see what my arse thinks.
Really dumb question. Is there a trick to changing the seat angle? Right now I have it where I think I want it, but I may need to adjust tomorrow. I loosened both bolts on the seat climb but it doesn’t allow me to change the angle, it only lets me slide the seat forward and aft.

Cervelo's seatpost toppers are dumb. You have to loosen the back, then you can loosen or tighten the front, then when you retighten the back the saddle will be at a different angle. It's dumb and bad. I should just replace the seatpost on mine.

It led a neglected life too, the poor thing ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
Noticed some chainring runout on the trainer last night, and took a look at it before I was going to go ride today. Gave the crank arms a wiggle and felt a bit of play.
Just an old cheap worn out cartridge BB.
The interim replacement cup and cone is a little pitted but it's all I've got for now in a close enough length. Haven't adjusted one of those in a while, and I was never very good with them even when I messed around with them a lot more.
It took...a while![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)

You do know that the soil in the three "I" states is agriculturally very good? Growing grass is not much of a challenge as long as we have rain.
We've had 10-13" of rain the last two weeks. I mowed Saturday and again yesterday and it would have choked my mower by tomorrow.

I had a lot of crit bikes and most of them would beat you to death but the Colorado was stiff on an obnoxious level. Beautiful bike, though. It was pearl metal flake white with a Campy Record group, tubular rims and tires.

However, if you had 20 days of 92F highs, with less than an inch of rain (see post #14713), your grass wouldn't be growing great, either.

I am not an expert in grass-growing soils.
