It's period correct and looks appropriate on that bike.

The Brooks Swift - like most Brooks saddles - is designed to be pointed up a little in front.

Round 2!

Please don't tell me to buy a black crankset just for aesthetics.

Thanks for the QR advise. Why, what's bad about unicrowns?

Just finished this conversion of a bone-stock Windsor Clockwork (Orange, 'natch) into this unholy creation - my interpretation of a do-it-all bike. Helps me answer that nagging question: "Oooh, I wonder where that trail goes?".

A set of gimme 700 x 35 gummies.

The Sturmey-Archer S2 experiment. Takes a little getting used to. Gotta hold your mouth just right...

Leftover flat bar, hand-me-down Ergons & MTB levers. Had to buy the B17, though.

I can dig it, but wide bars are WWWWIIIIIIDDDDEEEE

Take a link out of that chain if you can. Something about having a wheel slammed that far back in the track-ends skeeves me out.

Let's try this again....

Saddle too high.

Nice job on the windsor...I think I need to ditch the black components on my hour.

If I were four inches taller, I'd be a perfect circle. I'm 5' 11" & 52" around the chest. Not your classic cyclist build.

Yep, I need a half-link. The 35's won't clear the brakes if I remove a full link.

720mm wide is my sweet spot, what I feel comfortable with same with the brake lever.

Even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with it?

Enough with the one word responses that have nothing to do with the thread, please.

It's only going to slide forward if the hub slips.
