What did you do to your bike today? Fix it, repair it, how do I do it, what's the best part to use, and now: how do I get there?

I took the drops off the Ira Ryan and put on Nitto Albatross bars, flipped the stem and finally fitted a decaleur for the bag. Also added a new bell and replaced the chain. Very happy with the results.

Yeah, so I went to Alex's with some aluminum and a DXF file.





Then I had to pull my old Suntour cartridge BB that no one has the tool for anymore, so I made a tool. I haven't picked up the brazing torch in a few months so it was a bit of relearning.



Then I finally stuck my dymano wire through the factory holes in the frame.

Then put on my new 185mm x 46/30 double setup:




Next I plan on relocating the cantilever bosses under the seatstays and building a saddlebag support / duffel rack.

New batrape, changed bars. Planet bike gel/cork ribbon is much nicer tape than cinelli cork ribbon, except for the feel, and the color. However, much easier to install and remove, and more comfortable. Went from cinelli "celeste" mint green to PB "celeste" mint green, on a "Nuvo celeste" bianchi. I'm a little red-green colorblind, but i know those are yellow wheels. Not original, but also good for winter/nopo wheels.

Batrape? Let me guess, they were asking for it?

- Finally got my VO Pass Hunter front rack with integrated decaleur installed properly. used a spacer to push entire rack forward, away from frame.
- Raised the stem/bar & rotated brake lever interrupters so the new Acorn bag could all play nice. I am so upright now that I must look like an old man (don't care, it's comfortable).
- Took the plunge & drilled a hole in the fender for the rack-fender-mount, fender is free from all rattle now!
- Also finally gave up on the daruma bolt issue after much experimentation and just used a L-bracket on the backside of the crown, works fine, doesn't look as pretty though.
- Put on the brass crane bell my mommy got me for xmas
- Overall, much happy
