I was having a discussion with a friend of mine bout how I had to have a name for the bike (she insisted, but I agreed) and we decided on some naff name...I couldn't remember what it was, but now that I'm riding him (ooh, ahh) I felt he should be christened. So I decided on an equally naff name.

And I like it!

Though it's not nearly as cool as Uberfarter von Klunken...I can never top that.

As for aftermarket hands, well, that sounds cool. Bionic hands. Hands that have super powers!

Too bad you can't get aftermarket brains. I know a few people that could use some.

A little trick that I have used is to "flap your elbows", sounds weird but to move your elbows loosely you have to have a relaxed grip and loose arm muscles. I find if I get tired / cold / stiff then a quick jiggle of your arms reminds me to loosen up.
Don't ride down the road flapping your arms like a seagull...I am talking about once every 15 mins to remind yourself to loosen up.
Sounds like you are doing all the right stuff, keep going and enjoy!
