Nuthin' fancy - just a SR 26.8 seatpost for the latest Univega acquisition. Why does everybody cut their original seatposts so short???

Bought some "Thin Gripster" special Rivendell color pedals for a modern bike I bought and the "Roadie" bicycle bell which clamps to anything less than 8mm wide. Nice.

Today I received a "support washer" and a pawl spring so I can rebuild my SturmeyArcher S2C. The only place I could find them was SJ Cycles in the UK, reasonably priced and only 2pound50p to ship.

Years ago I bought a suspension seatpost for my trusty old Fuji from Nashbar (or was it Performance - they were distinctly different companies back then) 
. The elastomer 'puck' that sits in the middle of the 'knee joint' finally crumbled to nothingness this past Spring. Of course that seatpost and replacement pucks are no longer sold. I 'temporarily' substituted an automotive sway bar rubber end link bushing (too soft).
Anyway, I found a source for polyurethane rod, 1" diameter and 12" long. I only need a 1" diameter section 1" long. The 'hardness' I'm trying is 95 durometer (hard).
Anyway, once I get it cut to size and installed, I should be good to go.

I'm so stoked to build them into wheels and ride them (with high-zoot tires!)
Of course, I'm fighting the hoarder's urge to buy extras at $40 each since they're the only 650B rims I know of with that ERD. Gonna try to wait and see how I like them on the bike, first...

I'm considering picking up a set of those SL 23's. Are the graphics removable?
