My wife got a new car this summer, so I decided that surely, I deserved a new bike! It took a while to get it all together, but i finally finished and installed the last (rear) fender today.

In addition to the frame, I used a number of V-O parts as well. The rims, bar-tape, saddle and stem are all V-O. The dynohub is a Shutter Precision sp-8 hooked up to B&M front and rear lights. The wheels are 650b with Grand Bois Hetre tires and a 2X8 drivetrain recycled from a previous build. The fenders are home-made (if that wasn't obvious) from layers of cherry veneer bent around a frame. Best of all, the S&S couplers allow me to disassemble the whole thing and pack it into an airline certified case for travel! It isn't the simplest thing to pack, but the fact that it *can* be packed is really great.
