Looks like most, if not all components, are stock. Right?

I put on my old Bianchi saddle even though I'm still not content with it. Also added a mudguard/fender for the rainy commutes.

You'll benefit a lot more from that fender if you move it closer to the tire.

I had just slapped it on there, I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet. But I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Why is the Kilo TT always recommended here instead of the Motobecane Clockwork, Dawes messenger, or other "BDFGs?" Some of the others would seem to have a more road-friendly geometry.
