Nice bike. What headlight are you using and how did you mount it?

Wow! Full bling with the bottle cages and the wheel reflectors and the sackvilles. Very nice! Congrats!

Dave, very nice build and good liking bike. The Bleriot is a great bike. I was always bummed that they weren't available in my size (63cm).

Really nice build Dave. What fenders are those? They look great! I tried to blow the photo up to see what was going on paint wise but can't tell. Is that clear coat? Whatever it is that bike looks really classy and understated. Enjoy!

Giles Berthoud fenders, and a clear-coat on the protovelo frame.  The bars have since been wrapped and twined, mud liberally applied via a fun jaunt through Tilden, and a shellac heading it's way in the near future.  Loving the bike.
