So this morning I woke up at 5am with my alarm and got up and did my weigh in and I was surprised to see that I am heavier again today 🙁 I am now 107.4kgs so up 0.3 kgs from yesterday!
I then got showered and dressed, got the weight vest on and rucked to work did some work and rucked back again. By the time I got home I was on 8429 steps and 7820 of that was rucking steps so a good start for the day!
UPS have said that they are delivering my new Standard R125 OS20 frame today between 11:50 and 13:50 but they said they were coming yesterday too so I will not hold my breath! I’m not training at lunch time as we are going to the track this afternoon to test out the gate and hill and do some impromptu gates session so I’m hoping UPS don’t mess me about again but I suspect that they will but I could be wrong!
So again no sign of UPS at all 🙁 I honestly don’t think that I will see this frame any time this week 🙁 I’m going to the track at 4pm whatever today so if they aren’t here by then they aren’t delivering it! The Amazon package (Front Hub) has given a window of 16:00 – 07:00 so thats not a very realistic window either so I’m guessing that will not be here before i go to the track either so not super happy as I’m going to have to give the wheels to my friend at the weekend now so they will take longer again 🙁 They person I bought the frame off of is also dragging their heels so I guess thats a good thing as the wheels are going to be at least a couple weeks before they arrive so its going to be at least a couple weeks before the bike is built up! I spoke too soon! I have literally just been given the ebay notice that the frame is on its way 🤣
I guess that I had better get on with selling all my unwanted stuff to pay for the Black Market build 🙂 I have decided to ride the frame how it arrives so I can decide if I like it or not then if I do I will get the frame powder coated in the winter when I am not riding as much!
So UPS have just delivered the Standard and its really nice 🙂
I can’t wait to build it up but its going to take a while to build up as I need to find the cash to get hubs, build up the wheels and then buy bars, stem and tyres as well as a brake and headset as well. I will start this build after I finish the Black Market build as I will ride the black Market first anyway as my wrist is still messed up! The pawls for the Jump bike hub have just arrived too so I can get that sorted while I wait for the front hub. I’ve just remembered that its the first national weekend of the year this weekend so my firend is not going to get to look at my wheels until next week earliest so the fact that the front hub hasn’t arrived is not a massive deal any more!
So my front hub arrived when I was at the track trying the new gate and start hill (Amazing and so fast to set up now 🙂 so I came home early which was probably a good idea so that I didn’t mess up my wrist any more! The back wheel on my cruiser is really loose so I need to look at that later so that it doesn’t get any worse! Other than that the bike is riding really well 🙂 And the new bars are really helping my wrist a lot! I even did some little jumps on the tabletop as well 🙂 And bonked a few manuals too 🙂
