As at March:

This is how we're looking at March 2009.

- Big Dummy frame, 18" in the original olive green.
- freeloaders with added reflective taping
- original snapdeck
- footsies permanently fixed to the frame (see closeups elsewhere in the set)
- Kickback stand from Xtracycle, a huge improvement to the single leg stand, but pretty pricey this.
- Nitto canti-fit front rack
- basta bottle dynamo and lamp, fixed to the canti boss
- SKS chainguard and full mudguards
- On-One Mary bars and stem
- lamp bar from SJS Cycles, Bridgwater, UK, holding additional lamp brackets and bell to keep all the hand positions of the Mary clear
- Specialized Body Geometry grips
- rubber commuting pedals to avoid damaging the soles of smart shoes - I often use Rivendell Grip Kings too
- schwalbe Marathon 2" puncture protection tyres with reflective sidewalls
- Avid juicy 3 front brake with 185mm rotor on the front, shimano V-brake on the back at present
- basic mtb gearing, 18-speed because the chainboard fouls the big ring, xt mechs, Dura-ace/Pauls thumbshifters, cheap shimano crankset
- Brooks saddle from an old Brompton
- passenger bar an old french citybike bar from Freshtripe on ebay
- Ahearne flask cage and 2 more bottle cages present and correct
- Kryptonite lock secured to the seatstays with a bungee for quick parking
- wheels are rather basic. Something considerably wider-rimmed, more spokes, dynamo front hub and geared rear are on the wishlist.

Best day was the London Snow Day, 11 miles to work and back:

Biggest load was a run to the garden centre:
