You are right, cicli pal, it does look wonky. I will take a look at it again before I set out for the ride tomorrow, thank you.

Nice wheels! Those high thin flanges I'm drooling over the rims
I'm looking for a set myself.

I spent my Christmas afternoon indulging myself by installing a pair of new, smaller, much lighter, brighter and more aero headlights on my toy car. Of course the snow is very deep and it's 4° F outside so it might be some time before I can road test them but working on the car is my favorite thing to do when I feel the need to tinker.

Nice. Winter's a great time for updates, or just to fix what you broke earlier in the year.

I finished this up Sunday. Originally i had drop bars on this old Univega MTB but it had too much wheel flop. With the commuter bars it evens things out a lot

Well after several years in fixed gear mode it is time to switch to gears for awhile. Several of my parts came from the forum of course. Thank You Colonel
Lloyd and Choke for the parts and advice. Here are some before and after pictures, I hope.
