Not sure about the VO chain guard. Because of the thickness of the tubes, the thing doesn't fit well with the p-clamps that came with the guard. Also, I might like it better if I painted it black.

I took JC3 out for a 15 mile ride this morning and the SMP's rode nicely. The Brooks B68S will be much nicer once it's broken in. I love the butterfly bars and the stretch they allow me. This is not quite my favorite ride, yet, tho. Maybe after a bit more tinkering...I've had enough fun for now. Putting the SMP's on an IGH hub wheel was enough fun to last me for weeks.
I have the same VO chain guard. Good work. Functionality is more important than looks, IMHO, at least for a commuter.
