- Bafang BBS02
- Sturmey Archer hubs - the original coaster brake couldn't stop this tank on a slight hill... rear 3-speed drum brake and front drum brake with dynamo
- Custom 12 gauge Phil Wood spokes
- EM3ev Jumbo Shark - with a nifty Grin Technologies mount
- Lumotec head- and tail lights, dynamo powered
- Brooks saddle and grips
- Stem riser for my lanky legs
- Black cable housing I found for kind of a cool look
- Leather panniers and some army surplus pouches
