Had to update cause so far this winter I've swapped out the wheels, sprocket, chain, brake pads, grips, and top cap. I love animal print seats. Rider's view. Took off the gold fork cap to rebalance the scheme after I ditched the gold hubs. The Skallywagon Obligatory dog pic. Brake setup is a little different. I prefer a stubby single-finger pull. Enduro stem with a Turtleneck (Credence) plate. Tried it and liked it better than the original. My other bike has the Turtleneck body with the Enduro plate, hah. Buying 10 year old wheels isn't normally advisable, but I make exceptions for Odyssey/Profile builds, especially with such a rare colorway. You can't unkink a brake cable... ...However, my brakes are as dialed as they've ever been. Lots of bite and only honks under the utmost pressure. Not perfect, but getting there. New Tree Lite sprocket. Went from 30t to 25t cause I want to tear up some of the mellow single-track in my town. Brought back the superlite chain as well. Went from a set of Gold Elites to Brown Mini hubs, and the cheapest Mission rims to the most expensive from Odyssey. Despite going from Elite to Mini, this is definitely an upgrade. Combined with the new sprocket, I've never had such a perfectly straight and silent chainline.
