Spent last night in Com Ave working on my track stand. Props to Cambridge Bicycle School for helping with the build and everyone here for advice.
I'm also had this fleur de lis cut at a local metal smith shop to use as a headbadge. I'm working on getting it bent to fit the head tube....
that looks excellent. my iro mark v is in the mail. my question is what size tire and rim combo are you running there? I want to upgrade the rims and tires to something a little wider than stock for these boston streets. and yours looks nice and beefy.....
