Thought Sausage

Behold the orange beast has grown!

You'll note there is now a front rack which is housing my tent and a new sleeping bag (it's a 10 degree, and oughta do the trick).

Sorry about this one being blurry.

Other additions that have occured since I last posted pics of this bike include the ipod/stereo in the rear water bottle holder. That bad boy comes with a nifty little remote which is mounted on the aero bars next to the computer. That in and of itself is one of the coolest additions here, cos that thing is LOUD. Also, you'll note a chair mounts behind the seatpost, so I'm like locked and loaded. You probably can't see them, but I also had Armadillos put on so as to put up with the added weight and the inherent shit that is on the road.

All and all, this bike is weighing in around 70 pounds now. It definitely slows me down, but I have the weight balanced on it pretty evenly so going up hills and such isn't really any big thing. Hell its probably good training. the good news with teh extra gear is that the warmer sleeping bag allows me to ride later into the season, so I'll like, get my money's worth out of all this shit.
