I’m really clearing things out today ☆
It’s starting to feel like Golden Week already.

I have a Cinelli for commuting.
Lugless TIG-welded frame ☆
Decked out with Campagnolo, titanium, and Shamal rims
“Oh yeah, deep rims really do make a difference”
That’s what I was happily riding until now.
But once I switched to tubular tires, I started worrying about rim wear…
I figured clinchers are the way to go for commuting!
So I bought a new Campagnolo Khamsin and built up the wheels
It’s been hanging from the ceiling for over a year now, just collecting dust
Why did I even buy it? So…
I decided to get rid of the Shamal and bring the Khamsin into action ☆

Maybe I should finally add a front derailleur…
After riding it, the new wheels, tires, chain, and sprockets feel so light…
It rolls so much better ☆ I’m thrilled
The Shamal still looks better design-wise, though.
