I’m using this to keep track of the things I want to. I’m hoping this will help me blow off some of the high pressure hyper fixations I get on bike stuff every couple months.

It would never again look this pink or clean. Photo credit: Emily Horsman.

Upright conversion #

VO Postinos or curvy bars or milans, VO grand cru levers, might settle for the adjustable avids. I’ll probably replace my downtube shifters with my microShift thumbies from my Fuji, set up the Gr*nt P*t*rs*n way. Probably will a pair of Gordos or Ergon grips. This is my number one want right now.^[1] Going upright will allow me to finally get a full 137 basket on—it currently won’t fit between my drops—and enjoy proper basket life.

I eventually want to go full Paul cantis + levers. Long term stretch goal etc etc.

Long term goal. The cheaper Shimano hub will do.

bits n bobs #

• blue lug trans colored cargo net—ok it’s not officially called that but that’s because they’re cowards
• vo flat pack rack or something nicer
• a pink u-lock (kryptonite please make this)
• rear rack of some kind maybe idk, would make fenders suck slightly less
• more colorful housing, maybe some of the “vintage” stuff from Yokozuna. unfortunately they’re cowards afraid of the color pink
• outershell every day tote (cow, obvi)
• Yellowbird Bar Keepers bar ends (holy shit they oxidize)
