August 26, 2016: Preparations for my third BE CZ ride


During my two weeks vacation I first visited mom in Bratislava, then drove home, spent one week with the family and then cycled back to Prague.

Before I could proceed I needed to build up my rim brake Roubaix. I had a frame and wheelset, a few other parts as well. For the rest I relied on the bike shop. The bike was ready on 26/8.


like a little school girl I immediately went to the shop. I paid 300 eur for all.


Freshly assembled Roubaix


With Praxis Turn Zayante 52/34 crank


My dura ace 11-28 cassette which I had spare


2014 sw roubaix frame


With Dura Ace rim brakes


I upgraded these in March before buying disc frame


Xt pedals, perfect for walking and moving


Very simple alloy cockpit


It looked very nice and ready for the long ride


Except for this rear tire which needed to be changed


At home, I took it out for a very short 10 km test ride. Just to double check


REUSTRAAT in my hometown


Bike routes of Limburg in Belgium



The uphill was easy




Funny faces on a relaxing day






Sunny summer day
