I didn't want to like it as the cork grips looked so nice but damn it is sick. Those fenders were really well done. I want to know your secrets?!!!!

Haha! Thank you! Secrets, though? Just spending too much time looking around on the internet and dreaming up excuses to spend money!

A dynamo hub would be nice but with LED and battery technology being so good in recent years, I can easily go 3 hours with very bright lights.

Mainly on what you did to get the wrap looking so nice and clean. We all spend way too much time on the internet wanting to spend more money, that is why most of us are here...LOL

to do it, the cats at https://a2customs.com/.
I’d never used them for wrapping before, but they’ve done tint on a few of my cars, so I’ve seen some of the cool car wraps they’ve done in the shop. It didn’t seem like they’d done bicycle fenders before, but they were definitely unfazed by the request and only asked what color I wanted.

Okay, I’m sticking a fork in this one and calling it done. For now 
.
I got the saddle situation sorted by coughing up the ducats for a Supacaz Ignite. The OE black WTB was too boring, and the Fabric Cell Elite Radius, while very comfy, was a bit too much blue color, and the top material was both too grippy and too cheap plasticky feeling. I’ve only ridden the Supacaz briefly, but it definitely kicked the apparent quality up a notch, but brings the right amount of blue, so I’m happy...although I do wonder what the pink version might look like, or the oil slick...
I’m heady out for a snowy dirt road ride tomorrow, so we’ll see how the Supacaz does.
