I did. Wanted to move away from real-name associations and such. Mission accomplished.
The pedals are still on there. Was focused on getting a San Marco Regal first (that Concor was on its last legs to begin with, then we got caught in a winter rain and it has now totally gone to ****)... so that arrives Monday. Still trying to settle on what the
right pedal might be. Whatever it is, it's gotta be Doc Marten's friendly. But yes. Wheels are turning. Pics will happen. Closure shall be achieved.

Whatever else is true, it does carry the added advantage of
corrosion resistance under absurdly acidic conditions. What bike couldn't use
that? And hey, if stopping at the top of hills to realign the rear or avoiding hard acceleration from a standstill is the price paid for that measure of security, dammit I am IN.
