Well the Covid confinement is over in France so I am selling my Vendetta 20 as I have switched to the new S40. I don't race and the S40's less reclined position is more suitable for the type of riding I do. I purchased the Vendetta from Phillip Mouseley in February 2015 after he decided it was...

I just read the following article in The Engineer on 3D printed bikes. I am sure some here will find the article interesting about future trends for carbon frame bikes. https://www.theengineer.co.uk/frame-3d-printed-bike/

Guten tag Hubert, The price reflects the Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset. Are you familiar with it and in particular its electronic shifting? Once you experience Di2 shifting you will have a hard time going back to cable shifting systems. Once set up it is never misaligned. Shifts are always crisp...

Yes, and I don't know how to edit the title of my original post. I did state V20 in the text of my post.

I am selling my Vendetta 20 as I have decided to switch to the new S40. I don't race and the less reclined position will be more suitable for the type of riding I do. I purchased the Vendetta from Phillip Mouseley in February 2015 after he decided it was not for him after coming straight from an...

I am looking at installing an XD-15 BB on the new S40 fitted with SRAM Red GXP compact cranks. The range of XD-15 models leaves me perplexed. Which one should I order?

Yes I plan on trying the TerraCycle under seat rack when I get the new S40. For fully loaded touring I might use both the TerraCycle and Tailfin racks.

I recently installed a Tailfin (https://www.tailfin.cc) carbon rack and two Tailfin panniers on the rear of my Vendetta. The rack is super light, super easy to install/remove and it and its panniers are super solid. I used it on a recent 640 km ride along the Loire River valley from the mouth of...

Tired of being mistreated by motorists? Here's a 19th century solution from an article in the UK's Engineer magazine! It was designed for obnoxious pedestrians, but should work for motorized vehicles as well :eek: It would fit well along the Cruzbike boom! Full story at...

Is the hand painted edition of the V20 white on black as shown in the artist's drawing or does the buyer get to choose the colour combo since the frame is hand painted?

$600 seems steep, but $300 (maybe even $400) certainly seems reasonable for a carbon fibre tailbox on a $4500 bike. I would be surprised if it could be sold less expensive in the limited volumes it would undoubtedly attract. What production volumes were you pricing? What are the dimensions of...

How about in this one? Larry Oslund and I are about the same height but Larry is a lot skinnier than me.. This is one of the photos Don Rose took: https://flic.kr/p/uC4hoF Eric, I didn't know you have long hair. Boy are you aging fantastically! :D

Larry you can come with Bent Aero, that way there will be someone who tires maybe almost as quickly as I. He and I can ride together, waiting for you to lap us every once in a while ! :D

Something similar happened to me today, only it was two guys that passed me while I was stopped (but no snicker that I know of). I took off and caught them in a few hundred meters. They were going a respectable 20-21 mph so I passed them at about 24-25 mph (on a perhaps 1% downgrade). In my...

Cruzbikes may be crazy, but they aren't alone... Look at what these Quebecois have done. Me thinks this is just about perfect for Larry come next winter to keep him riding outside instead of inside on the Kickr! :rolleyes: At least when they fall they don't seem to break anything! :D...
