i would have continued the bar wrap part way around the curve as it would result in a smoother transition but those are still sexy bars.

The new stem has a 4mm taller stack height, so no spacers will be used. The problem is the Parts of Passion headset cap doesn't sit well on the spacer so I moved it below the stem. It fits better that way. This is only temporary.
Yeah, I like supporting the LBS as much as I can.

Those wheels look great on that bike. They accent it perfectly. The white hoods need to go however. I'd say it's about 100deg Fahrenheit.

Trying to have some fun with the rear derailleur housing. I was just some leftover Aztec cable from my Cannondale.
The white hoods are starting to split...so I may go black when I replace them.
Lol...thanks SA.

I remember saying similar things, except for the wheel part. It's by far the hottest Shimano equipped bike ever. I almost would rate a microshift equipped bike higher. Just to piss off Shimano fanboys that is.
Don't talk about that here, you'll get sbxx going.... My sister's BF made it for me. His family owns a local sign company, and they do lots of custom decals and such. I imagine any local place could do it. I emailed him this picture, and told him to make it say my name, obviously instead.
