Here's another option for a bar end mirror -

Similar to the Spurcycle, priced at $19.95. I've been using them on two of
my bikes (Santa brought them to me for Christmas!). So far so good.

One option for bike mirrors is the newer-entry spurcycle. I haven't tried
them yet, but they would fit where the bar end plugs would usually go - and
may work out if your ergon grips don't fully encase the end of the bars.
Big, reflective, and svelt enough I'd

That turned out great! Now you and Bill L have to get together on your CHGs
for a ride when he comes to Michigan. Can't wait for a ride report and
pictures in the sunlight. Although, I have to say, even in the cloudy
conditions, the gold frame pops! And looks good with the NL parts.
You go girl
There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe this bike,
but I'll start with exquisite! Unsurpassed creativity, certainly.

To add - I'm really glad you've made the choice to stick to what excites
you rather than try to conform to what is expected of you. It can feel
alienating, but also connects you to a group of like-minded people over the
wider geography. This is true of bikes but it's also true of so many
things
I believe these two things are true: the Norther Lights Charlie is going
to feel, and be, vastly more Pure Road Bike than your fleet of Platypii;
the Charlie will also be only a tiny increment towards a Pure Road Bike in
the eyes of your club ride audience.
I can certainly empathize with your
Lovely write up, Leah. Thank you. It’s great to hear about your inexorable
drive to march to the beat of your own drum (or perhaps I should say, *to

Makes sense. I suspected the Velocity Ano guy was at the root of that term
being used, just as I suspect he would also attribute the phrase to be
rooted in Erik's work.

Because Velocity is headquartered in Grand Rapids, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting several of their employees on rides. They use the term “deep custom.” You can get standard ano colors or if you want your own thing it’s called “deep custom.” I’m pretty sure my local bike shop used the term when we

"Deep Custom" is a term that, I believe, was initially associated with
custom builder Erik Noren of Peacock Groove (and Cake bikes).
See 30 second video from 2011 when the term came to the
forefront: https://vimeo.com/32808794

obtuse to others, however you used 2 words above that I have only heard in

It surely will not look like the "cookie cutter" road bikes in your group
or pretty much in any group of road cyclists. Embrace the difference
especially since you and we know your CHG is superior in every conceivable
way! Yes, I believe that to be true.
