It's like blinkers and mirrors and rear fenders on motorcycles. It's just wrong.

Ah, a naked bike/Monster man eh?

What I'd really love to have would be a Super Motard. An MX bike with slicks. Palomar Mountain in San Diego would be a heavenly assault. Goodbye rear tire and fork springs.

The classic. A lot of these parts came off that and I set the Wabi back up as more of a modern SS roadie w/ aero brakes, etc.

It's a Fiftieth Anniversary so 1988, but yes Waterford - and I've only ever seen one.

New Thomson x2 to match the post. Got it down to 17.0#, still figuring out the steerer tube issue though. Gawd, what an upgrade from a kilo

Is this bike too small for you? That seatpost is reeeeaaally extended. If so, maybe you should put those spacers under the stem, instead of on top of it.
