ah, I'll keep that in mind with the pics next time.
I agree with you on the seat and bars. But I can always buy a new seat, and get new bar tape.

And well there's someone on craigslist selling some for $20. I've ridden using imaginary aerobars before (as in I just wrested my forearm/elbow area on the handlebars) and I liked it, but it hurts after a few minutes do to the lack of padding. I'm probably going to get them and try them out for a few rides. at $20 I'm not out much if I don't like them.
