New bike day!! Introducing Standert Triebwerk!

It has been over a month in the making, and it turned out fantastic. Maybe even better than I've imagined. I handpicked all the components and parts, and Zach at Back In Action Bikes did a fabulous job building it for me. He hated me for picking a white bar tape because he had to wash his hands 5 times during the build. 🤣

I kinda dig the look of 1x crankset. Looks very clean and neat. This bike has a steel frame, but I slammed all carbon and titanium components on it. So it is only 200 grams heavier than my Pinarello. It rides so smooth. Just cruises along. Not as responsive though. Kinda like driving a CVT vs a PDK.

Boston is really a beautiful city, providing a perfect backdrop for my bike ;)

I'm sure I'll put a lot of miles on it!

Boston Common today. The crowd was enormous. If they say it's 100,000 people, I will not be surprised.

An enormous crowd on the Boston Common. It stretches as far as the eye can see. Many people are holding signs as part of the No Kings protest.

I was at the 2026 Berklee College of Music Commencement Concert tonight because my daughter is graduating.

Jacob Collier was one of the artists celebrated, and he performed. He's famous for getting the audience to sing along, and I have to tell you, being in a stadium full of musicians in the audience made what he did here sound pretty amazing. It was possibly the best crowd ever for it.

Edit: I just realized you can't hear the audience on the video 👎
