    Any speculation on the next V20?

    the vendetta has long had the ability to run post mount disc brakes a long long time before road bike disc braking common sense. My 2014 V2 has post mounts. I’m thinking v1.5 also ran with post mounts. To the vault.......I go..........

    Any speculation on the next V20?

    I’m grateful that such a bike exists at all in the market of today. we cannot expect such “improvements” if any quickly from a small niche family company. I’m sure the powers that be are abreast of current standards fad or otherwise and seek to provide universal satisfaction. Impossible...

    Pelso Brevet review / comparison to vendetta.

    hi jack. The pelso new seat like the original Bacchetta railgun does indeed use the seat pocket as a sleeve and thus protrudes slightly past the top lid. The added black wrap comes included with the bag and further supports and secures the bag via two top clips an over seat wrap and two...

    Pelso Brevet review / comparison to vendetta.

    Edit. curiosity got to me and I fitted a performer tiller to the pelso. it’s more aero looks better to me and less bulky but still a little slower than the vendetta albeit not by much. it’s also harder to push around with loss of real estate for accessories. Possibly less stable at ultra slow...

    It's here and it's: MAGIC!

    good decision paco ;) yeah Adam makes a quality product deserving success and it’s easier to initially ride and comfortable with big tyre possibilities. but you’ll always be circulating three gold chains and not have upper body input power options. my vendetta experience now is as a sports...

    It's here and it's: MAGIC!

    well I’m sure you will thoroughly test it’s speed potential Larry. I still think about an alpha 7 but suspect it’s benefits to be tempered by its still substantive weight and the Aussie climate. I’m yet to find anything that approaches the vendetta for overall performance and versatility...

    IS2000 to flat disc brake mount???

    Hi Barry not 100% sure what you’re asking. I used trp sl mechanical calipers with ultegra 6800 11 speed brifters for disc brakes. They worked fine. so did the original rim brakes with aforementioned ultegra brifters.

    Q-45 for Great Divide route?

    I guess if the track was unsuitable to the q45 then an Azub max would likely work being the most mtn bike recumbent I know of. But hey if an Azub six made it then the efficient fwd mbb platformed Q45 would love the trip more. reading the cgob blog despite Azub six suspension front and rear he...

    Bad news received today

    Good news is that hip replacement is routine these days with great results. Bad news is we wear out. God speed fight hard and get back ASAP. Whenever I ride the vendetta I feel my knees appreciate the mbb platform more so than my fixed bb hurricane pelso df bikes. It must be good if I notice...

    Flying the Flag without the drag

    The old lugged bikes of the seventies are truly beautiful and could compete weight wise with today’s machines. However in every other facet they certainly cannot. I wish bsa was the universal standard for road though there does seem to be a resurgence. Cycling is pretty simple and I’m glad the...
