I found Jen Green's website at Custom Head badge Portfolio
She was great to work with and although it would have been too much to do the filigree along the shield she did do the helmet and it did turn out great. Thanks.

Think I had to spend around $2k for the whole bike.

I told you! Adjusting the angle so the front is pretty level with the highest part of the back will help some.
It will still never be as comfortable as a real Concor, though.

I had one of those briefly, right after I decided that my bikes being wet all the time didn't really work out so well for Brookses. It did not work for me at any angle.

Finished my Bare Knuckle for the time being. I'm sure I'll still add some upgrades over time.

How does it compare to your 4 kilo TTs?

I'm not sure if that was directed at me or not; but I like it more than the one (and only) Kilo TT I've owned.

The Wabi Lightning gets Canadianized, eh.
Changed from 44x15 to 47x16, which is virtually the same gearing. Also changed out the original worn Sachs chain with a new ACS Crossfire 3/32" chain.

I took a few pics of my Wabi Lightening SE. It was an Enve 1.0 fork, Easton stem, Ritchey bars and seatpost, FSK cranks, Dura-Ace brake calipers and levers (modified to remove shifting mechanism). Total weight is 15 lbs. It is a single speed, not a fixed gear though.
