Tri en France: My new baby boy

Everyone, this is Rocco!


Rocco is Sheila's new baby brother. He came home today weighing approximately 10,5 kg. We're so happy to have him in the family!

Rocco and Sheila are very similar. Rocco has Shimano 2300 components like ShiShi, but his frame is a little bigger (51 cm) and his wheels are a little smaller 650x23c.

He had a rough first ride this morning First we had to take him back to Decathlon because his chain was rubbing against the front derailleur in the big chain ring (not when he was cross-chained... just in general) so that wasn't okay. In broken French I explained this to the nice bike-doctor and he's all better now. Then we had to ride through construction and bumps, but he's a tough little guy.

Rocco lives in the private bike storage space under my apartment which we share with a few other people. Hopefully they're not baby bike thieves. At the very least, Rocco has a nice big lock to keep him (and his front quick-release wheel safe).

I think we'll be going on our first ride tomorrow afternoon!!! EXCITING STUFF!
