tweaks on my bicycle

I made a few minor changes to my bike.  I got a slightly smaller (2.1" instead of 2.25") tire in front.  From what I saw online, this is not a great tire, but it may be perfect for me since I'm mostly doing road/fire road type riding.  It was basically the only choice I had when I went to the bike shop.

I took off the soma clarence bar and the ergon grips.  Now have some (comparatively) plain northshore lizard skins grips (customized with "phlat phrog" lock-ons, but you can't see that in the photos).  Oh yeah, went back to the standard bar that came with the bike.  Some specialized bar ends.  And a custom-hack camera-pod made from reflector holder and a few bits (bolt, washer, wingnut) from home depot.

The  camera-pod is ingenious.  You could probably sell that on eBay .... for awhile.   Maybe just the instructions, on line?  Nice bike, but I wish you wouldn't go to places that are too isolated.           Love, Mom

I got the instructions for it online for free. :)

This "isolated" place is about 15 feet away from a very busy road. Costco on one side and an elementary school on the other.
