The 1999 Bike R is 99% finished. Just some frame touch up paint and all done. New cassette is awesome and shifting amazing. So now the road bike has new brake pads and cables, shifters and cables, bar tape, seat, chain and cassette, water bottle, pedals, tires and tubes, saddle bag with Porsche keychain and every bolt and part cleaned. Great shape and rides so smooth and fast!
Follow my continuing passion to explore new adventures on Porsche bicycles. I have conquered a Century ride with a Porsche mountain bike, the Death Ride on a Porsche touring bike, the 184.5-mile Chesapeake & Ohio Canal Towpath in 2020, the 370-mile combined C&O/GAP trail in 2021 and the 237-mile Florida Coast to Coast ride in 2022. And just completed the Maryland and California Coast & Coast Porsche road bike adventure!

New trusty friend
Feeling a little better recovering from bronchitis, I got in a couple more short test rides. Everything is riding well, with the exception of a flat rear tire this morning. I can't determine what caused it, other than speculating the 120 pound air pressure was too much for the 700cx25 tires. It's at the limit of the Continental specs. so maybe when I hit a bump I pinched the tube. I'm just guessing, unfortunately. I'm planning to try 100 psi tomorrow after changing tube post ride.
