I think it needs a knobby on the rear. Grass gets slick.

Do you really need 7 gears on the back? Wouldn’t a fixie, or SS with coaster brake be a better option.

Depends on the yard. I have pretty good slopes in some sections.

Not sure if this picture goes here, or in the Equipment section discussion about water proof panniers.

I think that goes in the “Crazy dudes who will probably end up in the hospital if they are lucky” section.

I’ve got a couple friends who started working with Alchemy Bikes. This one caught my eye.

Carbon, aero, fixie for Total200 next year? Not to imply that my failure this year had anything to do with riding a steel fixie. Every little bit helps though.

I think you need to consider a true areobar setup over clipons with drops, even if it limits the number of your hand positions.. A recent study showed a 10-20 percent improvement in efficiency with that type of setup: http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/article/how-aero-is-aero-19273/
