Zefal 232 mudguard. Deadstock for $15, super stoked. More streamline than those SKS beavertail looking fenders. Looks like this:

I wonder why road cycling shoes are weird for walking in.
Isn't that what they're made for?

Thanks!
They're from Via Bicycle (bikeville.com) in Philly. They're reproductions of the original pre-war Schwinn Paramount adjusters (original price in 1939 was $0.80 ).

My pants used to fit me
Drank the Kool Aid and got a Brooks B-17 Imperial and a hairnet in case I lock it up. My current Turbo gets really grippy with the tiniest amount of rain (I'm talking from just standing up for a second) and is hard to move around on.

I just checked the site out but I still can't figure out the idea of the self sealing valve?

It's pneumatic. Think squeezing a sport water bottle with a top such as a typical water bottle BUT with a rubber gusset valve that is stays shut unless you squeeze or suck the bottle. This valve can also be locked via the little silver lockring you see above.

Now I get it, seems great. Might get a set of those when my current insulated bottles are kaput.

Yes, it's called smoke. The undergrad housing dept of the uni I work for gave out 1000's of them in black to the incoming and the number that gets left behind in lecture halls is astounding and such a waste considering they get left behind and inevitably lost forever within the first few weeks.

they also claim (and reviews generally back it up) that the inside coating prevents it from retaining colors and tastes
