Dura-Ace 7800 Front Large Chain Ring

New chain ring came in the mail today.
This is a 50 tooth ring (replacing a 53 tooth).
For the type of riding I do, the 50 will be more usable/practical.

Bought it from Ben's Cycle, online.


Made in Japan.

Pretty amazing design and machining on the gear (to make it shift smoother and easier)...

Interesting way to open the hood but not very practical...


The Vega wasn't a great car but this body style looks good and is very practical (true hatchback with fold down rear seats).
My mom's first car was a Vega with no power steering or brakes.
She couldn't drive it...
Traded it right away for a Nova with power steering and brakes.













The travel pizza oven is pretty cool...
