I finally put some 650Bs on my original Steamroller. When I first bought this frame from a local cycling friend, I didn't realize the fork was significantly narrower than what comes with the current models, so 650Bs weren't an option for it. I ended up liking how it looked and rode with the Mavic Ellipse/Rene Herse Steilacooms combo I went with, so I decided to stick with them for a while. Toward the end of last year Travis reminded me we had an old fork at the shop that had a little more clearance. He brought it down one afternoon, and after doing some test fitting, I had a pretty good feeling it would work. I finally got around to installing it last Sunday, and I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Colder Than Expected
Got out for a ride yesterday afternoon that got pretty cold toward the end (or maybe I just stopped a little too long to take a few pictures).

New Fork, Wheels, and Tires for the Jedan
I installed some parts I had on a couple of my other bikes on the Jedan yesterday morning: Whisky No.7 RD+ fork, Chubs/Velocity Aileron 650b wheelset, and Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H tires. The bike's weight went from 21 lbs 8 oz to 19 lbs 6 oz.

Brooks Cambium on My Jedan
I didn't realize how uncomfortable the old Turbo was until I went out for a ride with the Cambium. Feels way better, and I think it looks better, too.

My Biggest Ride on the Jedan So Far
This was the route I wanted to do, but I didn't realize it was going to be quite this long/hilly. It went well, but the last ten miles were a little painful thanks to a decent headwind.
