Rolling like a droog...

...with my clockwork orange.  Windsor Clockwork, in orange, to be exact.  I've ordered the parts for Matt to begin construction up in Vermont of a Continuously Variable Planetary transmission version of the bike.  I think it will be an extraordinarily cool bike once he is done - nice road frame with no fixed gears.  I may have to swap out the tires, though - it comes with a road set, and I'd like to get it with some hybrid-style tires.  I'm not sure the really knobby cyclocross tires are what I'm looking for, or that they would even fit.  I just need something a little tougher, with a little bit of tread, that can handle the C&O Canal towpath and the gravel stretches of the Capital Crescent trail.

Regardless, I'm very excited about this project.  I hope Matt will be capturing the construction progress, or at least commenting on it, on his site re-turn.blogspot.com.  The last thing to figure out now is how to get the finished bike from Vermont to Virginia.
