There wouldn’t be anything better then rounding out the bike with some extras

Posted in Accessories, bicycle by williaminmd on August 3, 2008
Maybe I’m jumping a bit ahead of myself when it comes to this post. When it comes to the nifty Euro-casual bikes, they truly enjoy the little extras that make them special. I posted one such little extra-the dynamo light kit-as one that was a needed amenity on my MTB. I’m still stuck with installing the tail lamp, and the light kit doesn’t necessarily have to be from Shimano (though there is something aesthetically appealing when it comes to uniformity). But, when it comes to uncomfortable nylon seats, plastic’s and icky rubber hand grips that make you sweat there wouldn’t be anything better then removing them for something so much better. With that said, after the previous posts implementation of said gear, my next endeavor would be to give me some leather. It would go without saying for those in the know that I must be planning a Brooks saddle sometime in my near future. I’ve decided upon a decent B67 .

Lovely saddle indeed. Furthering the final touches must include
the obvious leather grips……….
Though, as I read up on the Brooks website, I have only just now noticed the price. I’m certain…………
that a saddle of the nature and respect IS worth $116 and a pair of grips IS worth $106 bucks, THEY will be somewhere down the line. Hopefully not too far down the line though. My current saddle isn’t a bad one. Nice foam one with neat little pin holes that get all sopped up when it rains. It hasn’t been bad….but I’ve neglected not only the bike and what all it could be but, also myself in my creature comforts.
I think its now time to make some adjustments. These things in my last two postings are my current projects-as thought I have any. So, I just hope those that read up on and follow in spirit and in lifestyle this blog and the other blogs of note can enjoy and share in the happiness in our shared lives.
