Version 2.0:


Additions:
-Suntour Superbe brake levers
-New brake cables/housing
-Swapped out the front pads for Kool Stop salmons
-Got a VO Model 5 sprung leather saddle on clearance (a bit heavy but significantly more comfy for the rough roads on my commute).
-Added a rear rack for hauling things

I decided to go non-aero for the moment because I didn't want to rewrap the bars just yet. But braking is a lot better now. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'm trying to figure out a good regular grocery hauling solution still. A saddlebag/pannier/handlebar bag sort of a system is likely in store. I want to try rebuilding the wheels too at some point, though I might wait for a bad spell of weather in case I mess them up beyond quick repair.
