joelite44:

Decided to freshen up the Beverage with some new rubber. I had BSD Donnasqueaks that are almost two years old now and getting pretty plasticky. I'll give you one guess what brand of tires I put on there.

Have donnasqueaks really been out for two years? I think I need to stop smoking dope or something....

I guess it hasn't been as long as I thought. I purchased the tires in May, 2014.

jtr:
i feel similar... most of the parts i buy seem to be odyssey.
i allways look for the best material and design for a certain price and allmost allways end up with buying odyssey.
not that it would be a problem to me.
the simple thing is made in usa parts are insanelly pricey in europe and everything else seems to be made in taiwan anyways so all manufacturers have pretty much the same products. except of the ones that can really afford to pay people to think of and design new/different things. like odyssey.

latelly i am a bit into merritt because even tho they seem to be quite small the ideasand products they release seem to be a bit more than the usual "different collor designs" the only downside of their product line is that most of the parts look not that good. (imo)

also kink has released parts like the cranks, pedals and rims that are imo at leas as appealing as the odyssey eqivalents and for me to say this is a really big deal, haha...

so i'd go with
fit frame and fork, mac bars, also 2.25 faf tires. still the best feeling pair of rubbers
profile hubs (if pegless) laced into kink rims
also kink cranks, some pedals you like (eclat has pretty much everything from super slim to chunky)
tree sprocket (and maybe hubs)
some bits and pieces from other companies like merritt, eclat, fbm, s&m, solid (if you find any), etc.

other than that sel two of your bikes, buy an old honda cb and go on a long ass trip!
