I was going to agree, but after thinking about it, what the hell do I need a duck on my bike for? Does it even quack?
Still OTT!

It lights up and makes noise. Don’t know it’s a “quack” though. Regardless, a rubber ducky, with a rubber ducky helmet is worth having, even if useless. Might work better to get peoples attention than my brass bell, which people seem to ignore pretty readily.

Tandem uses a 12v car horn, but i have a radial bell on the back for my daughter. It's not very loud and gives a single ping, but she'd go hooligan if i gave her a switch for the horn...

I don't have a good shot up yet from the front end or from when it had the black brakes on it but if you so desire I can grab some pics of those on my cellular telephone. I need to get way better photos of the bike. I suck as a photographer and my camera is generally my phone or something pretty crappy.

And then...

to match my awesome valve stem caps, I had to get these:




matching alloy bolts for the rack mounts, cage mounts, etc.
about $2.75 a pop...
okay
I think I'm done...

My brooks B17. I made the mistake of trying to break it in during the winter on my fatbike and for several months it was an ass hatchet. I was like "OH MY GOD WHY DID I BUY THIS?!!!" That was a little over 2 years ago and I'm still not sure if it's completely broken in or if my sitbones are just immune to pain because of the experience!
