A nice, short 20 mile loop to dial in the shifters on the Tornova handlebar. With the OT Comp One crankset, KMC DLC-black 11 sp chain, this build is done. Although I'm 50/50 on the gumwalls but I'll keep in the meantime.

Martinus, that's a great looking bike. I like the no-screaming-logo look. The aluminum highlights are refreshing, in an era where the components have gone all black.
There was a time when the zebra bar-tape would have been nice, but I think that ended when Nirvana and Pearl Jam brought an end to hair-metal!

Once Upon a Time, Color was Banned…
While searching the web for some eye-candylicious Pantone colors to trick out my next Chinese carbon fiber frame build project, I came across this vid:

Very nice scenery, the best time of year there as I recall.
Like the way you've got your bike sitting so the fire ant mounds aren't all that visible!
