Re: [ultralightbiking] California Coast

I can't believe you have a dynamo front hub on what is essentially a time trial bike, let alone that you're touring with it. :)

How about did you end up with a dynamo hub on there anyway?  What width is the hub?  I figure even if you had the hub around and it was the right width you'd still have to build the wheel up specifically for the bike as anything coming with a dynamo hub would typically be to wide a rim for a 25mm tire.

Nice setup dude. 

How much does it weigh?

Nice touch with the sleeping pat on the top tube.

I've been wanting to do more touring with my road bike but we're past bivy season and into tent season. 

My tent (an MSR fling) is roughly the size of my bivy if I can strap my tent poles to the top of the top tube.

Would love to see your gear list.

BTW, don't velcro straps rule?

I just came back from a 600 mile bike tour along the California Coast, from San Francisco south, and posted some pictures.  It was just a 4 day weekend trip, but really nice.

FYI I put together a video gear list. My gear weight is between 20 and 25lbs so I'd describe it as lightweight rather than ultralight. I see a lot of frame... 		standley

Hi Mike,   I didn't weigh everything so I can't tell you exactly how much it weighed, but I would venture to say that the bike was about 18 to 19 lbs with the...

That's a good point, I didn't even think of that.  The plus for me is that I didn't have to camp because it got dark, I could continue on and listen to the...
