those shoes are sweet! but pretty expensive. also i want more like 70's vittorias or something similar.

so perhaps my butts just gotta get used to the further-than-downtown rides. if thats the case ill just go with the classic wool/leather crotch shorts.

found these:

pretty sure that front fender wont fit inbetween the fork blades on my 70's ron kitching. might cut them down skinnier? i like that style of fender attachment though, like a quill stem or handlebar plug. are there any other front fenders you guys know about that attach/detach quickly in a way that doesnt require loose parts or more than one tool?

going to just bungee cord a waterproof bookbag to the rack and mount an led light to the end.

so i'm thinking:

-handlebars with led headlight and velcro-attached bag containing collapsible foot pump+presta adapter, tubes, tire levers, axle nut wrenches, water bottles, bike lock.
-front fender
-quick-release rear rack with red led light and waterproof bookbag bungee corded to it.
-sunglasses with clip-on mirror
-leather/crochet cycling gloves, cycling cap, wool jersey, wristwatch, wool shorts with leather chamois, perforated leather cycling shoes.

anything i'm missing/should have? more tools?
