Clown Bike Modifications
After
I also finally put some tools, spare tubes and CO2 inflater on it so that I can fix flats, etc. I am thinking seriously about taking this bike to Michigan for the FGG Fixed Gear Symposium, and I want to be prepared if I do take it.
I swapped the 12-tooth cog for a 13-tooth, also. That gives me a more comfortable 65 inch gear, rather than the 70 which it had. This is basically the same gear ratio as Peugeot L'Orange, although the small, fat, tires make it feel a little different.
I thought I should ride it around for a few days with the new bars, etc., before I decide if I want to take it. So, I may have to revert to carrying the messenger bag for a couple of days this week and use the clown bike for the commute. If so, I'll do it Tuesday and Wednesday, as those will be the days when I have the least to carry back and forth.

Well, on the plus side, it looks less like a clown bike without the funky handlebars...
Yeah, it almost looks normal...in that tweaked-out on crystal meth way.
