Where to start….. Firstly the 200 mm crank arms won’t fit on my bike. The design of the bike has the chain stays flaring out to a point that hits the crank arm at the very end. Great! I waited almost 2 months for my bike and the crank arms won’t work with it. I called the manufacturer to come up with a solution and the only thing that can make it work on my bike is to go with shorter crank arms. What the heck.

The new ride arrived! After a few adjustments, I hit the road last night. The bike is so light, it’s going to take a few rides to get used to it My wetsuit is called a Tsunami FS Triathlon Wetsuit. I can’t wait to test it out in open water! Here is a picture of it: Looks impressive too, huh? It seems like everyday I have a different favorite of the three sports.

It seems like a month has passed since I ordered it.
