Here is my baby. Fuji Feather 2013.
She has some alright components as it's for urban commuting. She's got:
A Leader Saddle
Crew Seatpost
FSA Comet Risers
Velocity wheelset (Rear B43 and Front Deep V) in pink of course
Shimano 600 Road Cranks
MKS Pedals with AC Doubles and Cages
and a standard SRAM Chain
I plan on upgrading all parts soon!

Shot this with my phone just after a delivery. It isn't for everyone, but I love this bike. I am not in love with the wheels - they are alright, and really light, but I am not in love with them. Thinking about having the LBS build me up a rear wheel and I run the factory front that I have.

I forgot that photo was the one I uploaded. I had a tiny piece of rubber to put tension on the chain....just a ghetto way to figure out how many links (or one link out/half link in) to take out since I have a 25mm tire on order.

That's a reasonable question. Right now I carry a bottle in my jersey.
The bike sees mostly 15 mile lunchtime workout rides and one bottle is enough for rides <1 hours. 30 to 40 mile weekend rides are always planned with some kind of stop - store, park, etc. I've got a seat mount dual cage setup but haven't had to use it yet.
If I were to do it over again I would consider something with cage mounts like a Soma Rush.

Two fish quick cage adapter might not be a bad option for the days when you want to carry a water bottle on the bike. Two sets of bottle bosses is actually one of the main reasons I ended up getting a wabi.

Appreciate the suggestion and want to avoid clamping things on the frame if I can.
