Good looking build, nicely appointed. I like that harlequin tape job, subtle and a surprise. I also dig that backdrop in the second photo.
Thanks for the Compass review. I have extra lights in 32mm and the Rat Trap. I have some miles on the 32s, but not much on the Rat Traps. Love them both, but still can't totally speak to the longevity of these tires. I'm getting a Clementine and I am seriously leaning toward saving the OEM Kendas for the apocalypse and investing in a pair of Switchbacks. It is mainly for daily commuting and also shopping and towing my son on his Burley, but why save the good china only for special occasions? I've heard mostly positive things,which jives with my experience so far, but a few reviews question the durability of the Compass tires (including someone at Riv when I mentioned my plan). While I don't love flats, I think, barring goat head country, some of it comes down to riding style and experience, and staying out of the gutter. I'm willing to trade a slightly higher flat rate for awesome road feel, but I don't want to ride on hothouse flowers, either, so reviews like this, though very "unscientific", are encouraging.
