Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Psimet powertap wheel!
Kinlin XR300 rim, powertab elite hub. Not sure about the spokes. Wheel was built by Psimet over the winter and was formerly ridden by the now banned timmyquest (tspek, kepst, etc.). Helped him upgrade to a lighter wheel and helped me get into the power game, so it's a win win

Nice, looks like 28 spokes 2x? That's basically the exact wheel I'm dragging my feet on ordering. Nice to see an example.

Custom built tandem frame with a convertible set up for children and adult sized stokers.

Not shown is the second adult section and stoker stem that fits behind the top tube for smaller riders... for adult sized stokers the stem goes in the usual under the captain's saddle position.

This bike can also be fitted with a safety cage for riders with disabilities who cannot hold on to a set of bars.

and... after going through like 4 seatposts trying to find one that works for the ti bike...

american classic ti - slippage
bontrager rxl - slippage
thomson elite - incorrectly bought a zero setback (stupid me)

i've settled on this one for both bikes:

miche supertype -- so far the best seatpost i've ever used -- quite aesthetically pleasing too.
