Did a few changes on mine. Here is a current shot.

Got a set of Freddy fenders over the weekend. No dirty nipples today.

That was a nice change. Very happy with them so far. My bike is a bit of an oddity and it took a little creativity to get them to work. Took it for a quick 25 mile run and it is very rare I hear any noise out of them. The front being the worst. It is so tight to the tire I had to take a heat gun and dimple them at the fork.

If the tire picks up a decent size pebble it rattles through the fender and shoot out the front with some impressive velocity.

The raised bars helped my CT pain a lot but I am starting to think a taller stem and Drops or aero bars might be worth a try. As my riding strength increases I find the wind is now my worst enemy. I might even get extra tacky and do a Sheldon double bar as I really like the current position when just putting around. Its when I am trying to make time I am not happy with things. Maybe my P8 bars will fit for a little R&D.

My other issue is saddle. I think a B17 is in the future. Get my wife or mom to get it for my for my Birthday in Oct.
