I turned out to be the first recumbent to finish the 600k route in the Arizona series (he had knee trouble last year when he tried it and I had back trouble from my upright bike which caused me to skip the 600k but led me to the Strada which I rode the 600k on this year).

I like the dual headlight idea on the Aero Brevet setup. I may look at splitting my Luxeon IIIs to either side of the fork and mounting them with closed cell foam and zip ties.
Is mounting fenders on the Strada or Aero a big deal? You may not need 'em in AZ, but does the bike have enough clearance if you wanted to put some on?
