The new daily driver: Bergamont  Platinum Speed

This spring I replaced my  work horse bike. After 100 000 km time had come to make tabula rasa and swap the bike completely. Since I was very satisfied with the Beluga I got a similar but bit better replacement. A Bergamont  Platinum Speed. I modified it similar the way I modified the Beluga (same saddle, same handles, same carrier,...) hence the change was very smooth. 

I rode a few thousand km on that bike already and it feels home. In summer i also tested perfoormance on alpine ramps  - it just did its job.

Still there - still eating kilometers

 I am still around and am still eating kilometers. Cycling profile changed a bit though: 2024 I rode more than 10 000 km, but no real long distance, longest ride in the 100 km range. But quite frequent rides all over the year. Most kilometers are for getting to and back from work.
