Admittedly I do the occasional Kooka Guard search on ebay. These are my favorite model and I still run a few 8/9/10 speed 58/94bcd SqT mountain doubles w/guard.

With that kind of high polish they belong in a military parade or paired with a tuxedo.

It's just the stripes and the heel counter, captain!

Fuji does Alloy really nicely! Hidden Gem IMHO

I decided to add more redundancy to my gravel-allroad bike stable with a new Open U.P. It's also my only SRAM bike (Force AXS) and with Zipp Xplr components mostly; about 17.1 lbs without pedals. Luckily the seller has inventory on SRAM parts, which he said that he ordered months ago and a lot of it to get ahead of the supply issues.

It arrived this past Friday and on Sat we got a break in the weather with a 50 degree day and took it on its maiden voyage - handles well, geometry (Large) is a good fit. I just wished my fitness was better!



Have to decide which other bike to sell....ugh....

New smart trainer

Tacx Neo 2T, retiring my *old* Kurt Kinetic. Zwift should be more interesting now.

I recently replaced the bearings in my SRAM X-sync jockey wheels. Instead of $50 USD for new jockey wheels, I used $4 in bearings! An afternoon well spent IMO
