  1. I got a cheep walmart speedometer - about $9.
    A cool red Magura brake to compliment the color scheme.
    The brake is awesome. It takes such a little bit of travel to engage it
    allowing it to be in really close proximity to the GB4.
    And a slim water bottle.
    In a UPD nothing hits the ground.
    Ain't she purdy?

  2. Is it awkward to pull the brake with the handle bars in the way? I've
    never tries a brake before, so i have no idea what it is like.

  3. I used a Viscount base for stiffness.
    The brake is so responsive that with my pinky and its neighbor I can
    easily and comfortably apply the brake.

  5. Looks great!

    So... a Viscount seat base with air saddle innards and a Fusion
    cover.... is that right?

  7. Nice! Looks good. I like the way you have the brake mounted and the
    skinny water bottle. Looks like a good setup.

  8. pdc - Looks nice. Like the color scheme.

    Thanks to your initial post on doing a Viscount air saddle, I too made
    one. did it a little different with the cutting of the foam, but still
    used the Fusion cover. Also used the GB4 handlebar. The solid plate on
    the base of the Viscount works well for a strong handlebar mount.

    I like it, but may modify the seat a little more to allow more air and
    less cushion. I'll be posting a thread sometime soon with a few pics
    and description of my saddle mods.

    Haven't put on the brake yet, will probably do something similar to
    yours. Nice work.

    Please do. I am also going to rebuild my Viscount to an air saddle and
    every input is valuable.
