the preparations for the project are starting now. i want to travel as i am, as someone who is struck by a catastrophe would have to do; in order to make the documentation possible and not to fail due to mechanical problems, i have to prepare the bike a bit. 

luckyly enough the first supporters offered to help me pimp up the bike. first of all my friend klaus babusek (who probably doesn't want to be mentioned, but i can't help it), who originally built the bike.

after we decided what to do and which parts we needed, i asked sebastian sommer from fahrrad 18 if he could supply the parts, and he did.

klaus installed a new front wheel with a dynamo to allow tracking of the whole bikeride on the internet. there will be links then!
