the climbing wouldn't be so bad, depending on the hill... It's the descents that will get you on an Ordinary. Particularly as that one doesn't even have a spoon brake. Those handlebars look like a challenge as well. Most Ordinaries I've seen have the hand grips in line with the front forks (or just ahead of them).

So, you are saying to keep 'em separated so they can come out and play?
Sounds reasonable.
[MENTION=25227]Velo Vol[/MENTION]. from 1990's so in your wheelhouse?

That said, the day length for this time of year hasn't changed since the 90s. So, prolly the same balance.

In the 90s I did a 33 mile Sunday loop, and yesterday I did 35.
Still the Same. Bob Seger
It won't even embed the link

I rode 35 miles yesterday, my longest since March, or February. I woke up feeling so good that I realize the mistake of curtailing my riding so severely. I just needed to get over that distance hump. And it is as the first time I rode that particular loop in almost a year. Such a fine loop to ride!
In other news, today is the 19th anniversary of our first day in Mexico, while on the way to Belize. We kept waiting for the bank next to the hotel to open. And then discovered it's a bank holiday. Dia de la Revolución.

I have a bike to finish building today, for delivery later in the week.
I'm really looking forward to not having boxes of extra parts anymore. And piles of wheels, some with good hubs, some with good rims, but never the two together. Now that spokes have become unobtanium, at reasonable prices, there is no longer any need to hang onto them.

I'll probably hang on to my collection of smaller parts, since at the moment that inventory can be stored inside a two drawer filing cabinet and it doesn't feel too excessive.
Plus the ones I would want to get rid of aren't worth the effort to sell, but still too nice to bin.
