Nonaffiliate links to AliExpress that I could not find on amazon:
L-Twoo 12s set aliexpress.us/item/3256805620095544.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.323c1802UqACiG&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
meroca suspension stem: aliexpress.us/item/3256806693275725.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.10.75f91802Y2H9TR&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa
Thus far I'm about $550 in on various items added to the bike, double what I paid for the bike. I'm not counting stuff like the rack, bags or lights that I already owned. I had a lot of this stuff on hand already for various ongoing projects. The wheels, stem, cassette, and drivetrain seat and seat post were the things I purchased specifically for this project.
I plan to upgrade the cranks and BB as well as the front fork. I will probably also upgrade to a touring seat made for women by Terry. I obviously need new bar tape.
Affiliate links for incidental items I generally carry with me and are on the bike:
pair of water bottles: amzn.to/3zkcBsp
rear brake light smartish: amzn.to/3XFgMJa
front bag: amzn.to/3L565s1
Feed bag: amzn.to/3VE1Qsl
rockbros kids feedbag, remove cartoon face: amzn.to/4eE4Ld7
I bought a 3rd pair of Antora 2s. They fit me so well and feel really good.
