Peter's New Bike!

My dad wants to get back into biking, and since I've been borrowing his bike, I had to get one of my own! After checking some local bike shops and doing a bunch of research online, I had an idea of what I wanted in a bike. While I wish I could afford to support a local bike shop, it saved me a significant amount to order online. I spent a few days looking for deals and finally picked a bike, just to find out that it was out of stock when I went to place the order! Fortunately, there was a better bike for a similar deal the very next morning. I bought it quickly just to be sure it wouldn't sell out!

The week long anticipation was killing me, but it finally came! My Nashbar 105 with a carbon fork, Alex ALX200 Alloy wheels, and Shimano Tiagra and 105 shifters and derailleurs. Now it was time to assemble it.

I got home just before the shipments arrived!


The bike came with clipless pedals but I wanted something more universal. These are Nashbar Soho pedals with a platform on one side and a clipless system on the other.


Un-boxing everything!




My ever helpful kitty, Aurora!

Stem adjusted, handlebars mounted.




All done!

Time to take it for a quick test ride...
