Update: My Hipster Doofus Dutch Bike Project, or another episode of Unabashed Gearhead Gnarlyness

IMG_1234

I bought a Breezer bike last year, and was really happy with it, but as I just can't leave well enough alone, I took to tweaking it.  My objective?  To turn it into a true object of hipster doofus lust, to make it a stealthy mountain-urban bike in Dutch city bike's clothing.

I'm kicking myself for not taking a "before" photo, but trust me when I say that the bike looks much better now: I've swapped out the stock seat, handlebars, and grips for some much tastier items from Brooks, Nitto, and a Portuguese cork farmer.  And the grips are shellacked, natch.  I'm still not totally satisfied with the seating position, however.

I took this quick photo today over at Stanford and felt like sharing it, ergo this Unabashed Gearhead Gnarlyness post.
