Frankfurt airport 8am local time

Four hours from Seattle to Washington Dulles, 1.5 hours wait, then 7.5 hours to Frankfurt in the flying sardine canl that is United Economy.
The boxed bike and contents arrives intact, along with a form TSA note saying my luggage had been examined.

I found a quiet corridor at the airport and assembled my gear and bike, then traveled 3 stops on the regional train 4,25 euros one way to the Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof.

Only problem so far is jet lag wooziness from arriving in Germany at midnight Seattle time, and finding my mini bike pump isn't good at inflating the bike tires back to 80psi. I'd convinced myself that the weight savings was worth it. Hmm.

I found a bike store willing to let me use a floor pump in the Sachsen Hausen neighbourhood, near the Haus der Jugend youth hostel where I'm spending my first night. I might end up buying one here in Germany, as the toy pump that I brought (attaches to the Brompton frame) is inadequate.
