The L.A. Commuter

Preamble

Went up to 43s for the tires and a Moloko bar, which I love, although it is a bit wide in traffic.

The drivetrain is stock, but will be upgraded. The bike likes to kick the chain on tough hills for some reason. The seating is also stock, but will also be upgraded. Will likely get seat post suspension because these L.A. streets beat the hell out of the bike.

For storage, I have a Moloko bar bag up front and Banjo Bros. Market bags on the back, all of which are super handy.

Open to other suggestions!

CORRECTION: The tires are 42mm, not 43mm. They are Teravail Washburns.
