Heh. The thing is, if I ask for permission, I generally get to do whatever I want.
I'd rather not find out what happens when I make a large purchase without at least talking to her first.

sheldon fender nuts for the win! sheldon fender nuts are brake nuts that extend outward and have a 5mm thread inside that you can put the fender bolt into - so you can quickly/easily put on fenders.

fenders may seem dorky, but damn they keep the drivetrain/frame clean. I was soaked through and through regardless, but at least the bike was spic and span after the ride.

This bike is blazing molten hot. I'm normally not a fan of reflective sidewalls but it looks like (unlike me) you actually clean them.

Don't worry about resale as you really shouldn't be selling it in the first place. IMO, Parlee is one of those bikes you keep forever.

With that picture it doesn't have a chance. Try to get a better picture and it could go from a not to a HOT.

I already expressed my approval for this elsewhere. You did a fine job. (With the bike, not the pic)
