This bike has lasted me a solid 3 years, with no issues. I love it! I use this bike to commute to school during the week and I use it to ride long and hard on the weekend. That thing you see attached to my saddle holding those water bottle cages is the Minoura SBH-300, or better known as the dual bottle cage saddle holder thingy, the bottle cages are the Titanium King cages :)
Things to come:
Soma Urban Pursuit bars
Non-stock saddle (torn between the Selle Italia Turbo and the Selle San Marco Rolls)
New Izumi Super toughness chain (current chain has a half-link in it and I can't get over the fact that the half link is probably not as strong as the other links)
Smaller rear cog (Probably a Phil Wood 16 tooth)
Hope you all enjoy the bike!
