Great to see your pictures, ndbentrider.
It'd probably be easier, though, if you just posted all your pics into one thread rather than starting a new thread for each photo.
I'll post your other pics here for you.

Thanks mediaCreations - do you simply add on to the initial jpg in the same location?

Ohhhh pretty, Bacchetta builds a nice clean frame. And you have it built up with some real nice go fast parts. So what do you think of the bike so far?

Finest looking welds on a bent I've seen. And Chris King headset, too! Sweet! But, whoa, that water bottle mount! How the heck do you reach for a sip while riding!

A new company in Colorado called FastBack Designs makes recumbent-specific seat bags and hydration packs, including models that fit RANS, Bacchetta, and M5 seats. See RANS/Bacchetta seat items here:

Yes I have a camel back - Lobo (?)need a real seat bag for the commute - The water bottle mounts are for various battery locations for the lights - I have since switched to the front of the bike. Some of the seat bags I have seen provide space for hydration systems. I am still working on getting used to frogs up front - intersections on my commute are a bit of a challenge for the clipless pedal - I am getting there though - my avg. speed is definitely increasing. So far so good - looking forward to getting on some long rides and some hill work to see how it feels.
