Hey, the pressure from the audience is too much, I give up, here's the pic of the bike just as I arrived home, pretty isn't it ?

Naaah, just pulling your legs, a man can dream, right ?

Here is the real one (yeah I know the protective plastic are still on the saddle, I removed them now of course...) :

Could not ride too much yesterday as I had other obligations to fulfill, but managed a 1h30 ride, going through the gears, getting a feel for the bike. I admit without any shame that I'm a total beginner, so I was rather pleased with myself not to stall once during all this ride and to get a feel for all the process of upshifting and downshifting, to be always in the right gear, plus feeling the rear drum brake, which is quite nice and predictable, not like the on/off switch of the rear brake of the cub at the driving center... I always try to be very kind with the vehicle I'm on, and I feel that my bike and I are getting along quite well for the moment ! ;-))

I also discover one rather stupid problem.... I cannot get my brand new riding boot fully under the gear selector, because the boot's too "big or high", which is inconvenient to say the least... I can only upshift with the very tip of the boot, and I already scrapped the leather doing like this. I don't have any problem with running shoes of course, but that's not very safe...
Didn't have time to really check, but is there a way to raise a bit the gear selector so I could put my boot under, without have to hyper-extend my foot ?
