So, the Salsa Casseroll is slowly morphing into a randonneuring-specific bike. If things go well, it should have a
Son Schmidt wheel w/ some Supernova lights and a Tubus
Carry or
Airy ti rear rack come early Spring. The latest addition to the bike was a kind gift from
a good friend back home: Brooks Mudflap, flavor Honey.
I had resisted a mudflap, not sure why, for far too long. Last winter, my crank/bb area would look much like the wheel well of your grandpa's rusted out Buick, so resistance was futile. Mudflap it is:

Quick tip. The acorn nuts they come with don't stay tight for long. Either find some loc-tite or get some locking nuts. It will keep that flap from flapping. This is personal experience talking. Keep on rollin!
