New Bicycle in the house (well, garage)

and Sweetpea is home! Natalie called Friday morning, so I public transited myself over there a bit after 5pm, installed the computer, and rode home over the hill - 12+ miles...It climbs very nicely; I had great fun riding up SW Fairview.
Still need to figure out how to mount the Supernova E3 light - those clever Germans don't use the standard-here E6 hex nut.
You probably want to see pictures...


Build details:details (as well as I can remember them)
custom Sweetpea frame, S&S couplers, new Sweetpea logo
SON delux hub (and I can't tell it is even there when I am powering the
light...WAY COOL.)
there will be a Supernova E3 light, as soon as I puzzle out how to mount it.
Thought I had it, but no.
Aerohead rims
Michelin Megamium tires
White Industries H3 hub
Sugino triple crank
Shimano Tiagra front der, Deore rear der
11-27 9sp cassette (or is it 11-28? don't remember)
Nitto seatpost
Velo Orange headset and stem, with green Chris King spacers (Natalie's idea,
and it looks way cool!)
Salsa Poco handlebars
DiaCompe bar end shiftersCinelli corky tape
Tektro R556 brakes
Cane Creek SCR 5C brake levers, silver, gum hoods
green VO cable housing
custom teeny front rack
Terry Butterfly saddle
Speedplay Frog pedals
hammered Honjo fenders
a bottom bracket that will be replaced with another one to get a better
Q-factor (Natalie's plan)
