Ritchey Classic Curve.  Old school short reach, shallow drops. 

Thomson X2 road stem.  So so pret-ty.

Giro New Road 5m overshort.  

Giro New Road 3/4 Crew. LOVE this.

Giro New Road waterproof jacket.  I like the cotton twill look, although the sleeves seem like they may potentially be a little baggy.  I'll have to try one on to see if it can hold up off the bike.

Chrome 415 Work Boot.  Weather resistant, durable, and still comfortable on a bicycle, not leather.  Want.
SOMA Hellyer 46t 144 BCD track crank with drilled chain ring. So so pret-ty.  Wish it came in black.

SOMA Tange Prestige lugged straight blade track fork, 1".  Get on my bike!

EANABS

In college if we wanted to throw a party, campus policy was that we were required to provide equally attractive non-alcoholic beverages (EANABS) if we wanted to have booze.  At the time, I didn't really think such a thing existed.  While I still love beer, I am actually more obsessed with the amazing EANABS on the market right now, and these days after a long ride, I'm more likely to reach for one of the following:

Virgil's stevia sweetened root beer (with vegan mac and cheese ohmygawd).  I may need rehab, I kind of can't stop.
Once you go raw, you can't go back.  Harmless Harvest raw coconut water.  Booya.
GT's Cherry Chia Kombucha. Goopy weirdness with the chia seeds combined with cherries is an unbeatable combination.
Guayaki Pure Heart raspberry iced mate.  Lightly sweetened, which I usually don't go for, but this one is pretty subtle.

And when I need to hit the sauce and don't want coffee.  Guru stevia sweetened natural energy drink.  Love it.

The Search for Vegan Saddles

Maybe they will come out with a black version?  Brooks C17.  Cannot wait.


Concor Supercorsa X, vegan microfeel cover and made with recycled materials.


So far, I'm only interested in two of them out there (aside from performance saddles, which are almost exclusively vegan):  The Concor Supercorsa X and the Brooks C17.



"upgraded" by rowdydugan.  Kilo TT stripper, cetma rack, 42mm coaster brake wheelset. Approve.  
Subrosa. Has a nice proportionality.
