Well going to pass on the Oregon to someone else, if any local folks are interested let me know. Its a great bike, very close to my ideal, but not quite there, and I think better suited for someone with a bit more inseam than me. As always my short legs cause issues, this time not with the seat height (which is ideal!) but the fact that the FWD requires a pretty good Q-factor and the angle is exacerbated by my short legs, someone with longer legs would not likely see the same issue as me. Currently it is set up as a do it all bike, with fenders, rear rack, wider tires (which are very comfortable for rando, chip seal, etc) and dual disc brakes. Putting the original 451 wheelset back on there will require losing the front disc brake and putting back on the Paul V-brakes, and removing the fenders. I plan to sell it with both wheelsets and the brake parts. I much prefer the 406 wheelset with dual disc brakes. I plan on keeping the generator hub, and light unless someone is really interested and makes an offer.
I'm thinking for the current setup, with the extra 451 wheelset, and brake parts @$1850, and $1600 for the stripped/lightweight setup with just one wheelset (406 or 451). Pictures will be added soon, and will eventually post it up on bentrider online.
For now here is a picture of its current configuration:
