Check out the killer Kickstand. Made by ESGE, 1.5 lbs and worth every ounce. Both legs fold up on the non drive side. It makes everything from parking to maintenence so much easier. Months of laying yer bike on it's side all the time is a pain in the panniers (sorry). Again I gave the kickstand to Robert before he built the frame, and the area where it mounts behind the bb is custom fit to the kickstand. The cranks are Truvative Team Stylo. I went with the square taper bb, cuz I didn't know I'd encounter in Europe incase I had issues. These pedals are Ritchies, I'll probably pick up some 959's. I did Europe on some Shimano dx pedals, but one failed miserably.
