Triple silver circles, say that 10 times fast, is in effect at the drivetrain. Silver hubs, black cog, silver chainring, black cranks linked together by the ever-reliable Izumi Jet black, staying true to the black/silver motif. While a Sugino crank arm would have been the popular choice, the Sram Omnium with Wellgo pedal cleats puts the “neo” in this neo-retro styling.

Steel frames are already comfortable but as a daily driver I wanted more. The frame can fit up to 45c tires, but I went and got 32s to balance comfort and speed. Donnelly and Brooks C17 Specials do a remarkable job in soaking up bumps and the matching colors are just cherry on top.

Tonight's the night I made the most money playing smash in one tournament! I won Project M Doubles and Singles, and Melee Singles! $57 total!! (There was a total of $114 in the cash pot; that's exactly half of it!) So ecstatic right now! Pizzacato claiming best in the Panhandle of Texas. I'm still sitting at #2 in the 806 region of Texas. (Our area code) But that'll soon change!
