Great work Hi Eric Thanks for the comprehensive write-up. Great work - particularly with the hill-climb, one-hour TT and road race. Impressive results. Obviously the experienced racers with the super aero low-racers are going to have an advantage over you, so essentially being the...

Hi Jim Like your build. I had Hi Jim Like your build. I had the same question for you as Eric had, but he beat me to it. The BB7s look great on your bike. Can you tell us a little about the feel of them on the road - specifically how you've found them in terms of both power and...

Fair comment John. Your Fair comment John. Your observations have got me thinking about how I might re-arrange aspects of my training once I have a Vendetta. Thanks for taking the time to respond... Blair

Having trouble visualising that Hi John Thanks for your response. Interesting that you've tried both ways I've suggested. I'm having trouble understanding why neither are really needed. On the trainer now I just rest my hands on the bars. For a different position I put my hands behind...

South Island and hills You're dead right Ian, there is some very good riding in the South Island. Last time we took a road trip around the South Island we took mountain bikes and had some absolutely superb riding. This November I'm intending to go back down there to do the Source to Sea...

Thanks Hi Peder, Eric, Charles and Dan. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Eric - interesting to hear about your experiences and your advise. I'd certainly be keen to read your report after this coming weekend. Particularly interested in how things go for you in the one-hour TT...

Question for Eric and other Vendetta 2.0 riders Hi Eric You've been busy recently with your new Vendetta 2.0. Thanks for all your posts - for someone seriously considering the Vendetta as his next bike, they've been extremely informative. I'm wondering if you could provide your...
