Cambridge hipsters unite - a game of bicycle tag

^^^^^

The ring was drilled for me by a friend in the States. I am a bit into Drillium - you should see the brake stirrup. The arms look a bit fragile in the image but they are tapered (countersunk) and not as bad as they look.

I think it looks great. Does it actually feel different? Or is it just more of a look/weight thing?
Also, is it (just) as simple as drilling holes in stuff, or is there more to it? I wonder if I should try it....
