Although i’ve always had two brakes and I still have my front brake on the right for the same reason as hardboiled. Tried switching it around many years ago, but that turned out to be a disaster.

Someone should make a mirrored front caliper designed to use the lever on the right. I feel like the cable routes neater when lever is on the left.

Haven't posted my Wabi in a while. Recent mods include a Fairweather (Nitto) stem, Surly stainless steel chainring, and swapping out the Brooks Swift for an old Avocet with titanium rails. Riding great.

She isn't much but she is new to me she is my easy seattime ride. Spent an hour and a half cleaning her up. Then started playing with the fit. It is dead stock SS the way it came from Tony needs a few things but the little ride time I have had I am happy also got it for under $200.

The past few bikes on this thread, since the helicopter pic on down, have been really nice.
I've love to go on a group ride with you guys on these bikes.
[MENTION=398137]Scottybigs[/MENTION], that gear looks pretty tall. What size ring and sprocket is that?

+1 if only we all lived semi close enough to do that. It would be fun to have a SS/FG BF ride somewhere one weekend.

[MENTION=393713]bonsai171[/MENTION] and I are tearing up The South.
We did 68 miles fixed on Saturday.
It was a gorgeous ride through the countryside with more dogs than cars. I managed to spray my legs with pepper spray. Burned like hell whenever we stopped moving.
We discovered a great coffee shop so it was totally worth it.
Y'all come down.
But yeah, some nice bikes on this page.

My legs have adapted, and I will say that the increase in top speed has been fun.

New wheels, cranks, pedals, stem, and saddle for 2018. First decent photo I've taken of this bike this year.

That's a big 'ol tree!
The bike looks nice. Not overly aggressive but enough to be really fun.
