The bike
The plan was simple: buy an old crappy bike so that I could enjoy some riding in CA, and then leave it there. While I was shopping for one, however I found a used steel travel frame (Ritchey BreakAway) on the 'Bay for a great price, so I bid on it and got it. From there I bought every component, one by one used off the'Bay as well and had them delivered to Berkeley (sorry, mom!) and arranged for it to be built up at Mike's bikes. The build went fine, and here is my new to me travel bike!
The guy building it said that it built up as light as a low full carbon rig he had just done at 18.2 pounds (8.25kg). Not too shabby for a steel travel bike.
