Yeah, there were 2 stickers in the pack and I like Converge that much 
Are you talking about the circle logo?
Edit: I was kinda going for the treatment from this shirt.

Ohhh yeah! I was looking for that logo because that's what I was thinking about too. That one was killer.

Speedplay pedals and cleats. Smooth move. Kinda need to work on clip-in on a hurry tho. Keep slipping at cross-sections. >
I suppose I can't have everything.

Stratos 400's.
Any brake lever recommendations? I think the bar is 26.0 all the way across.

CAUTION, DO NOT BUY
Hey Fellaz, I thought I'd let you know of something you prolly shouldn't pick up because of poor craftmanship. I picked up pretty much a whole new setup and have been slowly putting it together. The one thing I was disappointed in out of all the components was the lock ring I bought...
Do not buy a Miche components lockring. I bought a Miche track cog lockring and was pretty surprised and how schiesty it was built. If you run your finger along the thread, you feel nothing but burrs. It'll scratch up thread of you rear hub and scratch your cog. Its too bad, I though Miche made some pretty decent stuff, apparently they can't get it together on a simple lock ring though. Here is a pic of what I'm talking about:
Haha sorry for the gross fingernails. They're covered with grease, I also gotta cut em. ANYWAYS look at the burrs on this thing...RIDICULOUS! You've been warned!

I recommend the Milwaukee lockring from Ben's Cycle.

The Miche lockring is 1.32" x 24 tpi unlike Surly, Shimano or other standard 1.29" x 24 tpi. I do agree that the Miche lockring's quality seemed sub par to me. If you need the 1.32" EAI makes one that looks to be pretty nice and it's a lot cheaper then the Campy or Phil ones. I think Ben's has it for under 15 dollars. I haven't used it but I want to buy one for my Miche Hubs. I was very happy with my Surly lockring, lots of threads but it didn't work with my new hubs. I have also heard good things about the dura ace lockrings but have never used them. Having said that I am not sure about the Milwaukee lockring's threading.

Your cog is slipping.
Wow. That Miche lockring looks crappy. Clean up that edge with a file if you're going to use it.

I use Dura-Ace lock rings. They are excellent quality.

townie indeed! Its the Traitor Cycles Rivet Commuter. It's 55 bucks with the matching bar tape, faux leather. A bit more than the Charge Spoon on my other bike, but I really like the look of it and its matching tape.
