Enve high rise bars and Enve seatpost for the Langster. She is almost done.

The he seatpost has a really weird dual bolt wedge system. Great engineering, but weird.

in a very generalized sense; yeah. in reality; a lot of **** is still ****ed up, but the infrastructure is up and running.

a good friend lost the house she grew up in and everything she owned, govt offered a buyout and insurance also would cover it. but reimbursement is very complicated strategy. if they use the insurance to do A then the buyout doesnt come into effect, if you use the insurance to do B then it doesnt cover everything and the buyout would only give a few thousand more, or if you use the buyout you forfeit the insurance money, and you would have to move, but it would be more total money.

not to mention rebuilding the house isnt exactly high on the families priority list since its still in the lowest flood zone in the area and not a whole lot can be done to protect it (despite local govts grand schemes[which still have not even begun to come to fruition])

This is a pic off of the Internet, since I did not take any pics today. The bolt you see has a twin on the other side, and you have to coordinate the tightening to achieve the seat angle you want. Also, it is a ***** to get the seat rails into place.

Specialized sworks hd bar tape. It feels so weird but should be tight for CX.

This seems like a much better system than the 1 bolt design I have now. 8 Nm for 7x9 oversized carbon rails D: And it slips super quick if you don't actually have that much torque applied.

Had these on every mountain bike I have owned. This one is no different. Black clamp on the inside, red on the outside to match the bike.

Had a Turbo saddle, aka seat, and it just did not seem to fit with other choices, like the WI crankset. So, I was leaning toward the Tioga Outland, but just could not pull the trigger. I have a Cambrium on my commuter, so I decided to go with a black Cambrium for my Langster. I think it fit the look much better. Also, swapped out the red seatpost clamp, aka saddlepost clamp, with a black one. Now, next spring some black tires and somewhere in between Enve forks.

After agonizing about panniers seemingly forever, finally ordered Ortlieb Back Roller Plus (yellow) and 2x outer pockets (large). Since the outer pockets cover up the reflectors, I got a pair of reflective radioactive symbol decals to put on the pockets.


Arkel T42 was a close second. In an ideal world, I'd be able to merge these two products.

Finally got a rear hub for my Co-Motion:

(though mine will be black)

and I will soon be onto the front hub and skewers also from Paul (though buying them separately because I can get a better deal and the 135 Disk Cassette RHub is no longer being made) and then have to buy spokes and I will have at least a rolling chassis and will be ready to put everything else on and finish her off. WOOOOOOO! I also just bought some BB7 pads for the Disc Trucker but those are less exciting.
