Lot of nice details in your build too.... but one question: are those Pasela Tourguards? If yes, do you like them?
Thanks gerv! The tires are non-Tourguard Paselas in the gigantic 700x35 size. They're fine for my purposes and pretty hard to beat from a price/performance standpoint. I've heard that some folks don't like the feel of the Tourguard version, and fortunately I don't need the extra flat protection where I ride.
