It's a Kashimax frame protector. http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_infocPath=188_838products_id=640zenid=1fd627f1b0374a57316ffb0539882cf4 Ridiculously expensive, but I love them -- indestructible, don't move unless and until you want them to, install in seconds and infinitely adjustable in seconds, and the spring design leaves a little gap that the rear brake cable can go through. Great product. Kind of ugly, though, and definitely not DIY. Here's another pic of one on my son's Quickbeam: http://www.flickr.com/photos/37542512@N04/5645450187/in/set-72157626433454817/ I also used one on the downtube to protect a rebuilt MB-2 from damage from an over-rotated Paul Flatbed.

Tom: I have to point out, nice bar height, and perfect tilt on that saddle!! Riding it provided the real proof... it's extremely comfortable. And considering you were prepping 3 bikes for this ride, I'd say your mechanical reliability index still remains high, despite your quick- release crankset...
