This was my winter project, a Katakura Silk I acquired at the end of last summer. Not a whole lot of changes to a bike that was in pretty darned good shape to begin with, so I sort of relished the opportunity to play around with subtle options and revisions to the build, one piece at a time over the crappier months.



I'm pleased with the overall look, although I'll probably swap out the stem for something in the 130 range when I come across one. I'll also be adding black mud flaps for practicality.
