level the saddle, that would make your ride more comfortable. then, this beauty would be perfect!

B17s are supposed to be angled up rather than level like most saddles; the back part is supposed to be parallel to the ground, otherwise, it acts like a slide when the saddle is "leveled" and you end up sitting on the wrong part of the saddle. Thank you for the nice words!

how do you like the sun wheels?

I think they're worth the price. They did not come as true out of the box as my H+Son box section rims, but for what I paid for them, I don't even mind.

I don't think you'd be disappointed with the Sun rims, but if you can save up a bit more for TB14s, you should do that. I bought the Sun rims because I wanted this bike to be my "budget" build that I could build up relatively quick without spending too much.

I bought some tb-14s for a 1984 Fuji Espree conversion I'm customizing. Mines are Silver, but they look great in black too :)

Nice. Yeah TB14s are pretty awesome rims. Understated beauty. Update me with your conversion when it's finished!
