I'll get some pics, but you can actually see the entire buildup of this velo at http://www.humanpoweredmessages.com/construct/index.html
 
Fred documented the whole thing.  Pretty crazy buying a velo with a pedigree!

Quote from Hurricane Dan on Nov 22nd, 2009, 9:52pm:
Thanks John.  Jay, David brought both of those Alleweders from Midland and they were FAWs.  Those didn't have enough room for my legs between the fenders.  This one is an AAW (there is also a WAW model).  It has full suspension and a 26" rear wheel.  I recognized this one from YouTube as having belonged to a guy named Fred in Florida (he goes by "fred dot u" on BROL and "freddotu" on YouTube).  I emailed him to get details on it and he told me it was actually wrecked, which the current owner didn't even know.  Fred put almost 10,000 miles on it, then sold it to an engineer in Indiana that repaired it and did some nice work on the electrical and battery systems.  That guy sold it to Mike in Alabama who travels back and forth to Arlington where he advertised it.  So now she's back home in Texas where she started.  I'll try to get her down to the lake sometime so everyone can take a spin.  It's definitely different.

 
Looking forward to seeing it.
