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?

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 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!

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.
