cool bar/stem combo, the bike looks very classic (and vintage, heh) though those cranks scare me a little bit. may i recommend some clips and straps?

Not carbon fiber, just an old spin wheel my lbs had lying around for cheap.

New 54cm Bareknuckle. Just got it together. So far, my daughter has spent more time on it than I have.
