Thought I did pretty good on this round

5 23mm skinwall tires, house brand, better Q than Conti Supersports
1  700c tube
1 6spd chain for a friend
2 patch kits
2 brakes fr/rear, dual pivot Tektro

(waffle, tbh) :mrgreen:

And on other news today, fc9k picked up a couple of pairs of those R200As you reccomended.

My, theyre frickin nice!  I own the proper Campag ones they ripped off, and they look just as comfortable!  Just awaiting 2 sets of Profile Design bar tape and my dads Dawes Galaxy will match my SS :D

I done told ya! :lol: Its the same as the Cane Creek SCR-5 which is ze leveur of the single speed intelligensia, but costs 40% more. Ill take Tektro please. :D I wish theyd had the compact version though, as even with my L to XL hands, they throw me a cm or so further forward than Id optimally want to be.

Similar quality Shimano kit costs double. :P Only downside to the Tektros is the QR button rattles if you brake on rough surfaces. :lol:
