switched from schrader to presta tubes
added fenders
added a rear rack and panniers
added a threadless stem adapter
changed the stem
changed to Nashbar trekking bars (I LOVE these things)
added lights
some other things I'm sure I'll edit this post with later...
Anyway, here it is the other week.
Holy crap!!!! I'm pretty sure I saw you the other day (I think maybe wedesday?) at the Cheshire Stop & Shop. I definitely saw a guy on a Cypress with trekking bars, and I'm pretty sure I saw a Brooks saddle on the thing. I wanted to say something (it's exactly how I had my TranSend set up) but I saw you had headphones in.
Too funny.
If you need a riding partner at some point, let me know. I live in Hamden, right next to the Canal Trail, and ride to work in Waterbury nearly every day, so I pass right through Cheshire.
