Nowhere to go from here for me
She's just about perfect. Repaint in a few years ?
Potential new aesthetic changes: Rose gold anodized chainring bolts, and copper rivet/rail version of the same brooks that is already on there. I've decided I love the crane bell and use it a lot, so I want add some other accents to go with the finish of it. I may also get some rose gold anodized valve caps as well.

Thank you! I like the flying saucer/UFO look of the Phil hubs with the raketa chainring. :) <3

Didn't mean to remove your second comment, still getting used to this site. Coating on the raketa ring wore off quickly on the teeth, but half the price of a zen (technically free from a friend of mine) , was the deciding factor.

Blackspire ring has been lovely. Deadens/absorbs drivetrain noise actually. Dead quiet, the tire noise against the pavement is louder than the bike itself now.
