Thanks for Adam at Oakland Service Course!
I love polished silver bits but I prefer rims in satin. This is a prime example. Love it.

First Handlebra for me.
Not cheap but looks and feels awesome!

On top of it, Ray was great to work with.
I submitted the order and less than an hour later he called me to get back on a question I put in the comments.
Top notch!

Nice pick! Glad to see Ray still around. Got mine in 2014 (actually 2 rolls and still working on first one).

Just bought the Abbey Bike Tools dishing gauge. Got sick of my slightly warped Park Tool gauge. I guess I took the nuclear option.

More orange than my camera wants to show. Resisted the urge to get more black accessories - adding in some high vis.

- Abbey cassette tool
- Feedback Sports cassette pliers

For the road bike, lower gearing (courtesy of CMiller) and some XT pedals (have been using eggbeaters for ages, figured it can't hurt to try something new).

Just realized I might not have the tool needed to install the spider lockring, whoops. But I'll get photos once it's mounted up and running.
