I managed to get a chain on and completed the Rockwell Relay. Our team did fine. 3rd out of 21 starters.
I had to borrow a Schmidt wheel from my commuter and a regular old rear wheel I had lying around. It's definitely not a racing bike, but held it's own speeding across southern Utah with all those carbon fiber bikes. Here are a couple of more pics: final setup before the race: http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/nfazk_t4bwH7ts4Xj89SNw?feat=directlink leading a carbon fiber 'fastbike' through the night: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rockwellrelay/4704452410/in/set-72157624283350574/ We got lots of comments... even one "How old is that bike?" Next stop is the Salt to Saint relay from Salt Lake City, UT to St George, UT in September.
