* Tacx Deva Orage / Pink Bottle Cages
* Pink / Purple / Orange cable ends
* Green flashing valve stem lights
* Orange safety flag

Now it has become the ultimate commuter. 1100 lumen light, rear blinking light, garmin 520, Quarq Riken Powermeter (measure my efficiency on my commute), Mavic Aksium wheels with 28c tires for better grip and rolling resistance and new arrange of stuff for improved visibility and cool factor. Total package weighs in at 20 pounds.

Do you really ride around with that flag on your bike?

Yup, ridden 45 miles with it since i got it yesterday and no issues. It stays in place and cars give wider birth when going past.

Wide berth or birth? Man, I hope for your sake it's the former...

Nice bar tape! Way too nice of a bike for a commuter, IMO. I like having a commuter that I can be a little rough on and not have to worry about.

That's going to look a lot better when they throw on the new black Dura Ace.

The pedals? What?

The best part about this is you being butt-hurt about another person criticizing your criticism and being utterly unaware of the blinding irony of it all. It's quite comical.

HOT, regardless of the crazy cockpit. As much as I love a moots built up with the full enve treatment, it's nice to see a unique build.

UGGGHH, that's bat **** crazy hot.

I either did something very, very right with my Moots or very, very wrong.

nycphotography 01-22-17 10:13 PM

It's going in a Rapha display for a while, then when I get it back I'll build it up. Not summer. More early spring.
