Yo gumwalls are life. I wish tubeless gumwalls were a thing.

Thanks. It's a 48cm (center of BB to seatpost clamp). The TT is quite long, kinda like a Leader, so there's no toe overlap with the front tire.

No brake. It's a track riding bike, not racing. I'm pretty much done with the track racing shtick. My Bianchi Pista Concept is now a road bike, and I don't want change out the fork, bars and stem every time I go to the track. I may ride it occasionally on some low traffic roads away from traffic, children, dogs, but not anywhere I might need to stop suddenly.

Got the freewheel changed out, and made a couple other small changes. Finally 100% satisfied with my everyday ride.

you mean backwards or upside-down? In any case people flip stems all the time to give the proper degree of elevation they need. Aesthetically it may look better flipped but fit is more important

My Aventon. Just built it this summer after a few years hiatus from riding, back into it more than ever. This is the initial build, definitely planning on changing some things around, but it rides great right now.

Yeah, upside down would have probably been the proper term. It was just a joke though - didn't mean to offend anyone or suggest that looks are more important than fit.
