LHT in present state: Brooks Conquest, Conti Contacts, Nitto Rando, 2 Obama spokecards, Nashbar panniers, cheap-ass water bottle
Crosscheck in present state: just-mounted Brooks B-17 honey, 32C Pasela TG, that's about all
Backyard garage bed: impatiens, hosta, 'annabelle' hydrangea, random hydrangea originally in indoor display, viburnum at end
fence bed: red-twig dogwood, lemon thyme, "carpet" thyme, 2 roses, baptisia, winterberry ilex, phlox, etc. Bushy, isn't it?
I like the 3 textures here: birds' nest spruce, 'tiara' hosta, creeping thyme, a few balloon flowers thrown in as well.

Tex, thanks for the comment on my 400k. Wow, two Surlys, I'm jealous. Interested in your opinion of the sprung Brooks vs. the regular B17 saddle. I've got B17s on both my main bikes and love 'em, but always open to improvements. Also, FYI I was born 'n' raised in Louavull and will be riding the OKHT this fall. See ya there maybe.
If you read this again, I much prefer the standard B17. The sprung one squeeks and I don't notice any comfort difference at all. Mine is the older model Conquest, which I believe was discontinued, but is also not based on the B17 platform but on the Pro. I have B17s on other bikes and will keep them.
And funnily, I've never ridden the OKHT. Don't know why. That weekend usually involves some family travel for us. But good for you!
Sweet-looking bikes! How about some more Bleriot shots?
