The wheels are built. Velo Orange touring rims ( http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2011/01/raid-rims.html ). We're waiting for the frame to come in. I'll have a B-67 saddle (currently on my Kona 29er), and the MKS Lambda pedals I love so much. I picked out the Soma Eurotrip fenders in pearl blue ( http://www.somafab.com/archives/prod...p-fenders-road ).

I haven't been around here much lately. My very best friend is in the final stages of metastatic breast cancer. I was in a bad car accident a few months ago. So far 2012 has not been a stellar year. This bike is giving me something cheerful to look forward to.
