- Switched out the stock drop bars for some Alu moustache bar, re-wrapped with some new white wrap I had sitting around.
- Added a brass spring bell.
Pictures please! Sounds cool. Since I have done two roadside tire repairs now I can highly recommend that you get a set of robust tire irons that you have had some shop-success with to use on the road. The crap set I had in my kit were almost no good for unmounting my Minits lite from the rims.
