Xtracycle Upgrade

Just got some sweet new parts for my Xtracycle...
Yes! wings. Hopefully these will allow me to go even faster.
And...
Awesome handlebars!
And thus ends this chapter of my quest to make the most awesomest (or goofiest) bicycle in town.
Oh, I also put a shorter stem on this thing. I had to get a downhill stem, though. Why is it so hard to find short "regular" stems (for cheap)? Hmm...
I'll be on the lookout for some sweet fenders next. Maybe those hammered-metal ones from Velo Orange. Mmm...

Or make your own from recycled political candidate signs ;)

I'm a big fan of plastic soda bottles + wire (Hawaiian Punch bottles are my faves), as you can kinda see in the photo. Ha.
Though street sign- and license plate fenders are tops too...not that I've done those before...
