Shiny new.


Not a house project, but a project still:  Biked into town from our new house for the first time tonight.  Jessie and I replaced the old circa 1990 Mountain Bikes we had been riding with really delightful new ones this summer and have been enjoying them a lot.  Tonight after getting home I mananged to grab a few minutes to install the beautiful Japanese brass bell I bought from the wonderful people at Velo Orange.  The design is something brilliant I haven't seen before, the bell is mounted to a specially shaped headset spacer so no extra hardware is added to visualy or physically clutter the handlebars.  It sounds great and looks even better, I think - it made me happy enough that I had to take a picture.
