^ Yeah, the Schwalbes look like I'm trying to compensate for something, huh?
Keep my stereotypically gendered colours offsetting, right? A little blue to neutralize the pink...

Honestly, those Ultremo R.1s are just a deal I picked up and happened to have around when I realized I had a build on my hands.

If you don't believe this is seriously ad hoc build, check out the bar end plugs...courtesy of Liberty School Cab Sauv.

Those pink Michelins might well end up on the Miyata if I like it enough to keep it around long-term...I'll move the blue Schwalbes to a blue/white bike they were destined for prior to coming off the shelf and into service! Sometimes these things are called for. When the bike is black and pink may be one of those times.
