I think I'm most offended by the height of the chimney above the stem. Unsightly.

I'm struggling with the brake cables being run on top of the bars and then taped. More comfy when they are in front of the bars.

Had my oral surgery today. Wasn't as big of a deal as I thought it would be, guy seemed to know what he was doing and he reassured me. I got the gas for the first time ever. It was not what I expected, either. Might have been fine without it but the last time I had a similar procedure I had general anesthesia. Novocain hasn't worn off yet.
Turns out my insurance does not cover it so I put it on the credit card. Frack. I had so much anxiety over this for the last couple weeks.

Yeah, it's kinda personal but I like mine so they fit right in the crease of my PIP joint (first finger joint after knuckles) when I am on the tops. Somewhere between 4 and 5 o'clock.

Might be cool if you could get a recommendation from someone. I've been to some crappy dentists and had to have things re-done later. Since I found the guy I normally use I don't trust anyone else. He doesn't do the thing I had today and all I had to go by was Yelp and some other review sites.

What's with you Johnny Lunchpails and the non-internally routed handlebars?

Bam's Ritchey in the pic doesn't have internal anything, as was typical of the era. That said, it's no excuse for poor cable routing and untrimmed steerer tubes.

Bam will never post another cockpit pic. We're just a bunch of judgmental a-holes.

Thanks for the recs on the Varia, may be something I need to seriously consider, especially with integrated camera. I guess my thing is... as others have expressed, I'm never surprised by a car passing me, I always hear them approaching, and the radar seems to merely back that up. Given that it can't predict a last second swerve or a dangerously close approach path, is there any real advantage to it versus just being attentive? I can't glance back at every car to make sure they're not headed directly for my rear tire.
