I may post final weight and gear list before leaving. The start date is set to this coming Monday (if the movers come early enough) or Tuesday (if there's much to do).

The bike is pretty much ready to go. The minim weight goals have, as always, been compromised by the unexpected and by unwillingness to forego some luxuries.
