my FG / Leader 722...still playing with handle bar position (raised it a bit yesterday and felt better). Originally had a Rb-009 on it, but didn't like the drop....RB-018 are perfect.

My stuff has been stolen in the past, so I sacrifice Fancy names and quality for components that simply get the job done. but the drive train and the hubs are a different story, I cant skimp out there those are more important to me because they account for a lot of the bikes performance and feel-but that's just one mans opinion-

Because I ride everywhere and I lock up my bike a lot, in "bad" neighborhoods so spending 100$ on some straps that could get taken super easily isn't worth the risk. that's why I got a cheap stem/handle bar set up and saddle.

Anyhow for my toshis I run them through sylvans... where installing them is hard and removing them is even harder.

Yeah but i was either black or gold and i wasnt really diggin the black so i went for the gold. Im saving up some money for deep v's. And yeah very fun to ride. wasnt the best decision to get a track pro as a street bike, but i got used to it.
