Hi Bely. Sorry but I was referring to the tyre on the rear, is that a Veloflex Extreme?

Also I am currently running black on rear and gum wall at front. There is something appealing about it but I am also tempted sometimes to get out a texta and blackwall the front.

I totally get where you are coming form with low profile rim on front. I almost got blown into traffic the other day on the Meilensteins. I am planning on doing the same.

@norregard - most of my weight is at the back and the front end tends to get a bit wobbly when the crosswinds start... The spare wheel look will have to do... Does not bother me too much! ;)

My 68kg, 1.84m frame flying off my bike bothers me more! :)

Would love the low pro lightweights.. But this will have to do for the time being!

1) saddle is a bontrager Serrano rxl
2) envelope seatpost sanded down and refinished.

Should be lighter now but haven't weighed it yet.

How do you like the Bontrager saddle? I have an Aliante and try to find an alternative...

@radiokopf the bontrager is nice.. But the Aliante is hard to beat in terms of comfort - if I rate the Aliante a 10, the bontrager would get an 8

Try hard and fail a lot, lefty but play right.
Everybody told me there was no difference you need both hands.
but still troubled with a steady rhythm
Wasn't a lefty for a starter price, only lefty in the shop was a Martin and a Gretsch .

Still planning to turn my strat like Jimmy did . (should have bought the Gretsch)

Given your collection your more then a decent player.
nice gear, bike collection is also very impressive .

regards,

Bely

Ah - you got to go "to the left to the left" it's all about feel!! I can play both ways but there's absolutely no feel when it's on the right and it becomes very technical. I've been playing and collecting since the teens and well collecting lefties is pretty hard - guitar count: 27, allowed to be seen in the household 10 (Wife says she doesn't want to live in a Hard Rock Cafe)
