Decided to Italify my commuter a bit: put a nice vintage Campy aero seat post on it. And I started thinking about how international the bike is: The saddle, seatpost, stem, and bar tape are from Italy (Campy, 3ttt, and Cinelli); the drivetrain is Japanese (Shimano and Suntour); the wheels are French (Mavic); the tires are Dutch (Vredstein); and the frame is from Waterloo, Wisconsin, USA (Trek).
Anyway, the ride in was pleasant but direct and therefore too short.
