I'm finally just about happy with the commuter. New Longboards, VO Postino bars, and new cantis without the horrible post style brake pads that make adjusting a pain in my ass. Gotta play with the bar angle, right now the backsweep is pointing up and back at me a bit, I think level or even dropped a degree or two will be best. Also I had to take a hacksaw to the shifter display to get them to fit on the curved bars, and fabricated up the rack mounts on the panniers so that they drop down low and clear the rack top.


Pardon the finger in the shot...


Hot. In an ideal world I'd say find an equally patina'd rack, though.
