Two simple things come to mind right away.
First I'd join those who are looking for more options on cranks.
Maybe the Alpina dbl and a triple, equal to the DaVinci cranks.
Second, I recently bought the 6mm allen wrench to replace a smaller,
lost bondhause key. I was really pleased with it,
That Wooly Warm vest is the best piece of cycling clothing ever made.
