New Pedals and Bags…

It’s been raining hard today here in Honolulu with flash flood warnings and everything. Of course I was out in it on my Hunqapillar getting soaked as met up with a friend for breakfast. Coming home wet as a drowned rat I was pleased to see a shipment from RBW. I completely forgot about the weather. 🙂
I’ve been continuing to play around with my Quickbeam now that the Hunqapillar has become the bike I used for carrying stuff around. Because of all the rain we’ve been having I decided to switch to Gripsters and away from Grip Kings (love both, keeping the GKs for other uses).
I also decided that since I have an Acorn saddlebag and a handlebar bag they should both go on the same bike. I’ve also always like trunk bags but since I’ve got a basket on the Hunq (moved from the QB) it can’t take one right now. But…I was pretty sure my QB would look great with a matched set of Sackville TrunkSacks so with a little extra cash (is there ever such a thing as ‘extra cash?’) I picked up new pedals and matching TrunkSacks. I’d thought about the Nigel Smythes but as I have a Sackville huge saddle bag…well bag matching may not be my thing all the time but…

It’s not a great picture and I’m not taking the bike out as I’m off to Maui with my Bike Friday in about 2 hours – I’ll be riding down Haleakala on Sunday. It’s also raining hard and until I put a little Obenauf’s on the leather I’m going to keep the Sackville’s out of the rain.
Anyway it’s the look I was going for so…happy trails all!
BTW – for those who might have wondered how the voting is going on which bike I should ride April’s Haleiwa Metric Century (VOTE HERE), right now it’s the Quickbeam:
Bike Friday: 10
Quickbeam: 15
Hunqapillar: 12
Aloha all!
