project done, got a cheap wheelset that is heavy-as, botched on my old mountain bike rear mech as the old one pretty much shattered on me, haven't resprayed it or anything as the stem and BB were *very* difficult to shift, even LBS couldn't do owt with them... Swapped pedals out from the Felt, put some nice cabling on it I had lying around, along with mudguards, is waaaaaaay twitchier than Felt, cockpit much more compact.

Borrowed my cousin's (works at warranty/return warehouse for Masi/Haro, gets to put bikes together for himself from the parts bin) SS CX bike, took it for a spin around the local mtb canyon trails and LOL if he thinks I'm giving this thing back to him easily. So so so much fun.

i have a local mixed surface ride i like to do in the winter, and i wonder if a ss would get it done for me, as it has some vert. if i ever upgrade my commuter (a ss cx iro frame but with an 8spd hub) i may build it up ss. it sounds great, but i don't know if i'd use it so much. i'd probly have to sell my reg cx to justify, but having a reg cx backup bike is v. useful. i already have too many bikes cluttering shit up, tho they all get used.

it's extremely hard to drop a chain on a ss. also, less moving parts (derailleurs) = less chance of getting your drivetrain mucked up in inclimate conditions.

reflectors are appropriate on a commuter/utility bike imo, though the pedal ones will break off shortly anyway. i mean, there are better reflectors out there, but i think they're ok for now. better than a ride on the hood of car.

Feel like reflectors are worth keeping, in general. There have been a few times when I've been driving and haven't seen cyclists' lights, but their reflectors popped out at me.
― Dan I., Wednesday, 27 July 2011 21:07 (twelve years ago) link
Almost any lights below Superflash caliber are almost worthless imo, which is not to say everyone shouldn't have them anyway

when my randonneurs (finally) wear out, im getting another pair with reflector sidewalls. ive been astonished by the toughness and longevity of randonneurs. no flats in 3800 mi on the rear!xpost

they're not reflectors, they're lights. they're required by the city of alexandria. apparently cops are really vigilant about harassing bike people.

(there were reflectors front/back that i took off to put on the lights. anyway.)

Vroomen had a great post on a position which I find very comfortable; loose grip on TE hoods, arms bent at the elbows, elbows directly under the shoulders and behind the hoods. Works nicely with the marginally shorter top tube I have on the bmc.
