Bikes: Old Norco frame in conversion process

Oh, one thing... I was writing an email last nite (which Justin was very good to answer) and I had an idea...

I'ma go get the USB cables for both the controller and Cycle Analyst for obvious reasons, but then I went one step further adding a netbook, some USB headset (I think I'm gonna hack the Logitech) and a camera (5 megapixel, fast frame rate USB webcam)..

For all of you that post Youtube videos, you are always aimed at the meters which are usually unreadable. I'd love some scenery shots and stuff to give me the visible effect, and since I plan on biking in some beautiful country, I'd love to capture and share it.

So I'm thinking of a USB wireless 4 port hub wired into all this stuff and the netbook receiver in the trailer.

Justin's feedback related to EMF (I suspect from the hub motor and controller) andsuch. I figured high DB gain antennas and proper gear placement might solve some of that.

Total cost + helmet = about $200, hub is about $160 and netbooks are about $500

Anyone else trying such a thing? I'll keep you posted.

PS. Stage 2 includes a wirelss hub, roaming LAN, VOIP server for others in similar gear.
