Nothing ΓΌber-blingy, but nothing to sneer at either, parts-wise: Paul's Thumbies w/ SRAM TT 500 barcons, Rival 50/34 crankset, Red front mech, X-9 rear mech, 11-36 cassette, and Avid BB7s for the brakes.
Wheelset from Peter White, including the SON dynamo; a nice set of Supernova lights, headrest and bottle cage mount from Don at ADEM; retro-reflective rim strips and decals from Fiks Reflective. And an upgrade from fiberglass to carbon for the seat should knock an extra pound or so off the build...(thanks, Frank!)
I'm excited...should be a really fun bike.

Are you doing the 100k on the 17th? When will this bike make its debut?
I was planning to head down to DC for a 200K that weekend, but I may save the gas and hotel money and just ride our 100K.
naw, you should just drive down very very early to do it. consider it to be CTC/600K/1000K sleep deprivation training.
Dan,
Would you be interested in doing a "What We Ride" piece with American Randonneur once you've got a few brevets in on the new recumbent? We'd be interested in the piece.
Please contact me directly.
