well the weather is great and the bikes are getting tuned up so i broke out the columbia and did a little update to is .. i think it looks way better

way hesitant to flip the bars wasnt sure if i would enjoy the ride but i was shocked to find that is very comfortable

Good looking bike either way. Now with fenders, any plans for a chain guard?
