Can't help with containers, but if you are traveling internationally I
highly recommend using non-US carriers. In my experience they are much
more likely to check your bike for free as one of your pieces of
luggage.

The low front is great on the road .. wet roads especially great... however
it does drag the grass when I cut t through fields or yards or even bounce

Alex Wetmore had (has?) a site on his touring tweaks, featuring DIY
mudflaps. His reasoning is that a flap blocks more water from soaking your
feet, BB, crank, and chain, the lower it's bottom extends. So, as low as
you can, as long as any contact with the ground is tolerable.

Patrick from ABQ sold me this frame, and I just completed the build today. I
saw this bike in another incarnation when Patrick and I went for a ride on the
Bosque Trail in Albuquerque earlier this year, so I knew I had to have it when
he offered it for sale.
I built it up using a wheelset base
I recognize that bike! Very nice; I see you used the Mafac levers --
how do you like them?
I'd be interested in your opinion of the S3X -- I keep thinking about
buying one.

I forgot to ask: what are those bars? Very deep drop. I've seen

climbing, or middle cruising and top for downhills?

I chose to set it up with my "regular" gear as the top gear. That choice was
dictated in part by the hub, which has the top gear as direct drive. In my
experience with internal hubs, direct drive is the most efficient--whenever you
engage the gears, it feels more sluggish (regardless of what the
