Nice. The blue rack works, because the blue handlebar bag is on the other end.

Gravel_Rash, nice setup, you got everything going on in that cockpit! I guess the gopro remote is clipped into the framebag strap?
Yeah thanks RubeRad...yes the velcro strap for the bag runs through the bottom of the remote holds it in place nicely, Makes it very easy to use the remote.

Yes, that's a headset top cap clock. And yes, it's simultaneously cheesy, ridiculous, and awesome.

Can it be programmed to run slow, so you can get more ride time in on a beautiful afternoon/evening and still have plausible denial when the wife is upset because you're late for dinner?

I don't think it's cheesy or ridiculous at all, it is indeed awesome, and a great use of space otherwise wasted by a headset cap. Is it a Stem CAPtain? I personally kind of want a compass, especially for trail riding, although it seems they might have trouble with steel steerer forks. Anybody have experience?

Well it is a Space horse, I'm sure it's used to floating around in all different orientations without gravity.

I really like that old-school kind of paint scheme, with white bands for logos, especially when matched by white fork tips.

Yeah I think it gives a hint of class to the "Party Brand". It also completes the look with the British Racing Green color scheme of an older time, perhaps even a better time.

Haha, I actually got it from a relatively shady looking site, which happened to have some greyscale camo bar tape I wanted to try out for super cheap, but has a $15 minimum order for free shipping to the US. So the clock pushed me over the $15 minimum for free shipping with the bar tape. Looks like the price went up since I ordered it: Highest quality and Cheap Bicycle Mounted Waterproof Shockproof Mini Aluminum Alloy Luminous Clock Watch - Red + Silver on sale

Got a bit of a speed upgrade

Old commuter: Trek 4300 with regular MTB tires.



New commuter: Ridley Fenix.



Still can't get over how much lighter the Fenix is!

For how cheap it was, the clock is exceptionally well made, and was super easy to install. I have no doubt of its shockproof-ness and waterproof-ness, and the machining is smooth and top notch. The only negative is the cheesy engrish writing around the base; I'm probably going to spraypaint it black. Very happy with it. I haven't installed the bar tape yet so no review yet, but the texture seems good at first touch.

Thanks! Second day commuting on it and I love it. So much quicker getting up to speed, especially uphill. Corners much better too.

this is my winter bike! It is a department store Schwinn (6061 aluminum before those bikes became completely worthless, circa early 2000's.) Components are mostly stock (Shimano Atlus, Suntour XCT, etc.. .) although I swapped the springer fork for a steely rigid. Added a rear rack, fenders and mudflats, panniers, and Velociraptor 2.1 tires; she rides nicely through the slop.
