Jeff Abitz wishes to thank Recyclist Bicycle Co. in Kaukauna, WI for recommending,
and supplying the following:
- wheelset: Custom built to perfection by Matt Fischer;
- S-Works seatpost to provide a little cushion back there;
- Lauf Grit fork that allowed his arms to feel fresh after cycling 14 hours of Flint Hill gravel. 
- Teravail Cannonball tires that remained flat free.  Thanks to Justin Michels for the tip.
