Oh, that's cool! Maybe I should get one of those. I've never had a bike-specific GPS. I have a Polar fitness watch with GPS that I wear for both biking and running. It might be more comfortable and convenient to put it on my handlebar. Where did you get them, TT?

I use them to mount large Timex Ironman Triathlon hrm watches, but you can mount just about anything with a wrist band. What I like about them is that they are secured to the handle bar with zip ties, so that the watch band doesn’t have to be very tight.

That is neat, I can mount my non-existent watch on there. Maybe I might get one of those Casio Calculator Watches so I can do the maths while hitting my normal KOMs (King of the Mashed potatoes)

I received the watch handlebar mounts today, and this is what they look like on my bikes.
Getting the zip ties installed on the mount piece is a real pita, and I think I could do brain surgery now.
For those still interested, they are back in stock from the seller on Amazon >>> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is a shame the Phil Woods didn't make their new headset in 1" threaded because I would have boughted one like so fast for my Phils Wood frame I got. This little number should do the trick though. I wish I had bought this a while ago but so many projects so little money!

Ditched my Eggbeaters for clips/straps the other week, decided I liked it enough to invest in a good set of pedals and clips/straps.
Went with MKS Urban platforms with MKS medium clips with leather guards. I am definitely going to darken the leather to match the rest of the bike, but I am LOVING this system. 10x easier to get into, even at speed.

And the current setup on my fixed nouveau-retrogrouch commuter build:

Fresh Garbage
Getting ready to build a new wheel for my road bike and keeping it old school like. I'm relacing the one on the left with a VO PBP rim and thinking about what to pair the one on the right with. Maybe something more modern.

I bought a new pair of this...
Because I did this...
Rode 14 miles like that and didn't even notice. In my defense it was a raging thunderstorm at midnight so I had other things on my mind.

There is nothing about that picture I don't like! Hubba Hubba!
Had to get a crappy old square taper BB. Some dumbass wrote their name on it so they don't forget it, I guess?
