Where did you get those fenders?
I must be looking in the wrong places...cause I can't find a set of chrome ones.

Just bought a Jamis Aurora that I'll use for some touring (only on certain days when I can lock it up inside). Until then I'll keep using my beat-up bridgestone. On the Aurora the shop upgraded the shifters from the silly 20 dollar ones it came with to a 90 dollar pair of bar ends for no extra cost
I'll post pictures when I can find that darn camera.
EDIT: Trace22clawson, I love those old leather saddles- the kind that conforms to your butt over time. Is there anyone that still makes them, or is that one older?

I locked my new commuter up and ran upstairs to get my camera to take a pic for you guys. By the time I got back, this was all that was left.
j/k...I just wanted to post that pic. Be careful locking up.

I have replaced the rear rim with a Rhyno Lite, added a Brooks B-17 saddle (smooth as butter) and a stem riser. The rear rack is a Axiom Journey Disc Brake Compatible. It has my latest version of my geek lights system: MR16 3 watt Luxeon headlight with 2 small aux. drive lights, 2 beehive 9 LED tail lights, one amber strobe and car horn. She doesn't look too bad for having about 10,000 miles on her.

Nice build Map tester. Do you have a close up pic of the disc side rack mounting?
Oh and BAH, everytime you post a pic, I want to build an extracycle just for the fun of it!

The two-legged kickstand is good; unfortunately, I trimmed it to size when I had smaller tires on her. Now it rocks just a little, so at some point I'll add another shim under the kickstand mount.
Here is a old pix of the rack mount around the rear disk brake. Recently the rod that attaches to the bike fatigued near one end and broke. I made a new one from steel and rotated the mounting point to be inside the rack supports--maybe I'll take another pix if you are interested.

Wow, it looks like you spend some serious coin on roadie mods. How about some details!
