Nope. I want 'em. I just don't want 'em on the Volare.

It's my city beater so 95% of the time I'm wearing high top air max's when riding. They work really well for me, so I'm inclined to keep them. I'm open to suggestions though. I see Lambda pedals, but no accompanying straps for them.

Needs black wheels or a silver crank. (<--Edit: this is actually the least of my concerns with this bike)
Run full-length housing with clips instead of cable stops.
That bar tape isn't doing you any favors.
Yeah, those pedal straps gotta go.
Bonus points for the -17 stem and tidy seat bag tho.

Black rims are in the mail right now

It's a Lezyne Road Caddy Bicycle Seat Bag that I found on Amazon for $20. Great little bag. The wide velcro strip holds it much better than lots of the saddle packs out there. Holds my spare tire, one co2/adapter, 3 Wrencho Tire Lever, and two hex keys.
