The Azuki reborn.
Just changed some things around on the fixie. The bar end caps were today's arts n' crafts project. Big changes are front + rear Mafac Racer centerpulls, Bontrager Jones CX tires, 38x16 gearing, a riser bar off a recumbent flipped upside down and some cheap Tektro levers. Very comfortable setup. Blast to ride around town, and surprisingly a good gear (not too low).

We always pronounced it aduki in the hippy restaurants where I worked. BUt it's spelled adzuki. They are pretty little beans, but I like your bike better.
