The guys at Demon Tweeks Cycles did me a crackin deal on this Felt Brougham which I have now changed out bits to make it more what I am looking for.

Aero bars, black flats, Hope stem, WTB saddle and removed all the stickers I could.

The original plan was to swap out everything white but I am liking the quirkiness of it for now. :D

I am going to replace the brake lever with a triathlon one and route the cable through the bars out of sight.

Loving the singlespeed, makes you anticipate more and gives more of a workout at every stop/start than gears.

    Like the aesthetics but not impressed by the braking configuration. Any plan to alter that to something which might actually be of some use?

    Please tell me there is a braking surface on that front wheel, so you can readily get 70% better braking.

    Admire your style, not very practical, but it sure is stylish....
