The ride was shorter than I had expected however it was fun with the Maxy Fasty tires rolling over objects like a marshmello. I felt Maxy Fasty on my Bleriot. 650B wheels and plump tires are a great combo. I used some new and some old components. The wheels, tires, headset, bars, stem and my wonderful rack and fenders were most of what is new new stuff. I used my Brooks Finesse saddle, Banana bag, drive train, seatpost of my older stuff. This is my commuter, and camper and long distance bike. I am not a racer so this pretty much fits my desires. My singlespeed is not forgotten. Here are the pictures and if you have any questions let me know.

Very nice. What kind of centerpull brakes are those? Hope you got the pine needles out of the chain and cassette.
Oil is good, grease is better.
