After 30 hours of off and on rain, manna from heaven during this drought, I got out for a ride this afternoon. The roads were wet when I left so I took the fendered Legolas with Jack Brown Greens. Temperatures were in the 50s the entire ride so Ibex wool jersey and knickers were perfect. I stopped beside Monument Valley to snap this picture with my crappy phone because the light was spectacular. Very soon it will be too unpleasantly cold and/or icy to ride through the Monument. If that was the last ride for 2012, which I doubt, it was a splendid one indeed.

Wonderful photos. I envy your the Legolas: am I right in thinking that
this might be the ideal performance-biased all rounder, for combined
pavement and firm dirt?

I note that your custom has the same paint as my '03 Curt (and a very
similar bell). I know how your custom would ride; how does the Legolas
compare?

FWIW, I'd swap the JBGs for Kojaks: they roll as well as seem more
durable and are very slightly wider.
