Bad JuJu, I was thinking the same thing. And, what's a brevet? I know I could google it or do a search on here, but I'm too lazy.

OK, I'm gonna show my ignorance here, but I'm dying to know--what's the deal with that hub? Why is it so fat--what's inside there?
Other than that, gorgeous bike, and I luvvvvvvvv those lights.Bad JuJu: Team TE Bianchista

I didn't see this before! The hub is fat because it has a power generator inside it. When the wheel turns, power is generated and powers the headlights. So you can ride through the night without worrying about batteries, etc.

GORGEOUS! And I love those headlights! Where did you get them?
