I was really looking forward I was really looking forward to the Bat Bike but this turned out really well too. Maybe the Robin Bike? I thought you had decided to nix the Nuvinci, what made you change your mind? I would love to see some close-ups of the mounting details of the fork...

Tell ya what - we'll race for Tell ya what - we'll race for both. Me and my Vendetta against you and your Silvio - after all you're younger so that seems like a fair handicap. -Eric

Using the screw at the top of Using the screw at the top of the stack through the star nut inside the fork, my Vendetta goes smoothly from loose to removing play and still feels the same after connecting the pivot cage and everything else. I did snug it down a bit more after I reassembled it...

I had a hard time with them I had a hard time with them staying on. They kept working loose and coming off so I just left them off. Without them, the cable housings did abrade the paint quite a bit around the head tube but it was also getting rubbed with them in place, just a whole lot...

OK you too, come join me at N24HC next month OK you too, come join me at this year's N24HC next month ( http://www.n24hc.org/ ) and knock out some more miles with me. I've been sick and overloaded at work and the weather has also stymied my riding so you both can probably kick my butt...

Hey Charles, the numbers are Hey Charles, the numbers are a little deceptive. Over half of my miles so far are flat trainer miles. 7,478 feet elevation gain in 928.7 miles total for 2014 to date. I've been lazy and curtailed by weather, work, and my carpal tunnel flare-up. 0 feet...

Heck, I just taped a flat Heck, I just taped a flat piece of the closed cell shipping foam that was packed around my Vendetta when I received it onto the seat top under the cushion. Adjusted it a bit during trials until I found the sweet spot. It is perfect now. There were a couple of different...
