Speedmachine! Yes, the HP Velotechnik Speedmachine is now mine. My darling wife matched my funds as an early Father’s Day gift so that I could ride it in the upcoming RBR rally.

Of course, I can’t just buy the stock bike. Oh no. I’m replacing the seat cushion, putting on racks (rear and center), adding fenders, slapping on bottle cages, installing a kickstand, rolling new tires, and maybe placing a head rest.

Excuse the language, but this is gonna be fuckin’ sweet!
