A failure?

Might seem the pilot has blown a gasket and sworn off the SC1800.

Got up early, had a cup of a coffee with a friend and rode the long way into the shop.

It was pure bliss travelling without a sound such as to facilitate listening to the red wing blackbirds, warblers and blue jays. It was sort of cool turning heads with style points when they gazed with wide wonder at the darts painted onto the head tube.

Perhaps the SC1800 will not ride again until the rain comes....
