Tubulars on this. But the gist is still the same.

Been wanting to see a raw bike with modern bits and tan/gum walls. It's been on my mind to do with the Moots.

I don't make a habit of it... the Food Whole is right around the corner from my apartment so I ride whatever is closest to the door when I go. The bike rack is visible through the windows so I usually peek out a few times if I'm in there for long.

It makes a lovely commuter too...

I doubt you'll want to run these fatties on your bike (and might have clearance issues), but these Grand Bois Hetres (42's) are smooth as butter!

I can post my Merckx tomorrow... the modern-w-gum-walls approach can come off looking serious.
... by which I mean: ... looks serious

Not exactly what you're looking for (not clinchers—these are 25mm FMB Competition CX's with silk casings), but you get the idea.

I think this bike is about perfect...
