The headlight is an IQ-X dynamo headlight, and it hangs from a modified Go-Pro undermount on a Garmin out-front arm. A Secula Plus taillight is also wired in.

Spotted this on ebay the other day for pretty cheap. Too small for me, but something about how it's setup I just love. I think it's the tires and the fact that it's just a basic bike and nothing fancy.

Though damn, that firefly is amazing.

This is as big as it gets...

...on my 650b gravel bike anyway.

Got a pair of WTB Vigilantes from Rob pal recently and just tried on the new shoes. It's at the limit, measures out at 55 cm. The front Surly fork can handle the width, I doubt rear is able to but we will see...

Compared to the 700cc Rock n Road, it's HUGE!

It was a fun, quick build. Been treating it like a big BMX bike with gears so far. Ha

Well, it's just a Cambium saddle I had sitting around and cork grips. The cork will darken though so it won't match that well for much longer.
