@niliraga Good eye there. A moderate headwind and a few hills taught me that I'd started off a bit too ambitious... took it down a notch and this feels just about ideal for all-around.

@3speedslow Yeah, white Regals are far and away my fave saddles. The one on my Paramount has copper rails and rivets which perfectly complement the leather brake hoods and dark brown skinwall tires. Seems like a bike is never really mine until it's got one.
