if i use rim brakes i want front and rear, with like retro-looking levers and hoods, and if im doing that, i might as well have a ten speed too. but as of right now i just have a townie/cruiser that i put drops on, basically.

i guess my question was "should i put clips and straps on my bike, or will people razz me or call me a poser"

which in hindsight, i guess it doesnt really matter.
