I have had this bike for about a year, and am very happy with how it is working out. It is a Green Heron Wayfarer, with Phil Wood cassette rear hub wheel, Phil Wood bottom bracket, Shimano Downtube shifters, Tektro Oryx Brakes, Shimano LX derailers, and a Sugino triple crankset. The front wheel has a Shimano generator hub, attached to a Lumotec N-Plus headlight and D-Toplight tail light.

As you can see, the bike is set up for loaded touring, with front and rear Tubus racks, a Nitto M12 mini front rack, and fenders. The rider/bike interface is a Brooks Champion Special, Nitto Randonneur handlebars, and Crank Brother's Eggbeater pedals.

I'll be taking this out on tour in a couple of days, and normally use it for commuting. Or anything of any distance, especially if I have to carry something.
