Just the stock crankset that came on it. Really asinine bcd, 118.
My fork is bent, with the wheel seated fully in the drop outs, its super crooked. (Nothing I can do, already took it to a LBS.)
I fail to see how I'm the "moran."
The rims are actually covered in mud now haha.

what's with your fork? maybe consider dummy hoods instead:
[/QUOTE]
The fork is poorly wrapped with non-adhesive duct tape to prevent scratches. The fork is from my 94 Specialized Allez and the color didn't match well and I didn't want to paint it or get it scratched up since it may eventually go back on the Allez.
As for the dummy hoods; I actually use the right hand drop lever. Both it and the cross lever are routed to the front brake.

Nope, just right handed. Makes more since if you think about it in terms of practicality. Leaves your left hand open for signaling and you are using your dominant hand for braking. There are a pretty large number of people who do this, many of whom post on BFSSFG.

To be honest, I like both a lot!
Only thing on the moto is the bar tape color. Get black!
On the GT, pick a tire color. Don't go both blue and red.
Both have character but if your going for "clean"
