 The subject of upgrades...
More plumbing today. Now every indoor faucet has been upgraded.

More on the subject of upgrades... I dropped off the Bianchi to Bicycle Outfitters for some modifications. They will be changing the bike over to a triple chain-ring from the single crank set-up. The changes involve adding a left Brifter, front dérailleur, new bottom bracket, triple chain ring, and a new rear dérailleur, about 350 dollars in parts, plus labor. At a later date I will install a new set of wheels to complete the conversion to a road/touring bike!

Other modification plans involve the Cruzbike, which will also get a triple this year in addition to road brakes and 700c wheels
