That's lovely. Do you have photos up on flickr? I'd love to see hi-rez versions.

Question: what's your commuting load going to be, and how will you carry it?

Steve, flickr photos are here:

I have a medium GB bag mounted right now, with a custom decaleur incoming. I only carry a few clothes and my lunch, so I don't need panniers or anything heavy. If I need to carry more I'll use a messenger bag. It is intended for light loads; 28 mm tires and not long chainstays to make it ride like a classic road bike more so than a tourer or randonneur.

Thank you. That was just lovely. What a beautiful bike!

I sure hope you have a good place to park that, where no clumsy fellow commuters can knock into it.

So, now that you have a few months experience riding this lovely machine, how are things going? Have you had it on rides other than commutes?

With a 7 month old, my rides have been limited to mostly my 100 miles of commuting per week. I promise a more in depth ride report by New Years'...

I look forward to it. It's a real pleasure looking at, and I believe it's the sort of bike everybody should have at least one of.

Some of us are fortunate to be around nice bikes every day, so it's easy to get a bit jaded. Every now and then one just stops you and makes you take a longer look, and this is one of them. I can't articulate exactly what it is, but I just love this bike. Really, really well done.

A little short for you :)

Very sweet, just my size, do you need to deacquisition anything interesting ?

DBRK rides about our size also, always good to keep track of size-buddies.

You did a very nice job of integrating everything for a wonderful look. Anxious to hear the ride report. Also you take some REAL NICE pictures. PETE
