Outstanding John. 4 hours and Outstanding John. 4 hours and 14 minutes - wow! I really need to get my butt in gear. Great photo and write-up and looks like you are having a blast. The Sea Gull Century looks like a fun one. -Eric

Long timeline, still nothing actually on the market http://www.gizmag.com/toyota-i-road-full-enclosed-tilting-electric-three-wheeler/26498/ Tilting is a pretty cool buzz though. I kind of like the looks and function of the Toyota i-Road. The front wheel movement reminds me of a Lomax...

Beards and post wreck repairs Hi guys, @Tim - Post wreck repairs. I'm going to post a write-up of the repair/rebuild in a separate thread when I can find some free time. Kind of crazy busy lately... @Charles - Yep although the pics are from Texas when I visited my parents last week...

The Vendetta is supposed to The Vendetta is supposed to accommodate up to28mm tires AFAIK. I'm going to try this at some point and will let you know if you don't beat me to it. It will probably be quite some time before I try it. -Eric

Try posting pictures of the Try posting pictures of the bike setup by itself and different angles with you on it and video of you riding it if you can. This will allow John, Doug, the other Silvio folks, and others to offer more effective suggestions. Regarding the seat, keep in mind...

As long as the brakes work As long as the brakes work getting in and out of a snug Vendetta cockpit is easy - hold the brakes and push yourself up the back seat incline. It is even easier if you do this as you are coming to a stop and let the bike forward momentum help you - just plant both...

That is one of fthills photos That is one of fthills photos that I grabbed because it was close to the angle I needed to describe my question. I'm not sure what size wheel he built his Rohloff hub into but I think it is a 700c with 28mm tires. He did mention in another ride report post...

Hi Gary, I knew Alan had a Hi Gary, I knew Alan had a NoCom but I don't recall hearing anything about remote steering for it. What was that all about? I chatted with Alan a bit about his custom bars but he was being Alan so I didn't get much info from him. -Eric

The Wahoo Blue SC works fine The Wahoo Blue SC works fine on the medium Vendetta with 170mm cranks. The only issue I have is with the bladed chainstays as the sensor's mounting surface was really made for a round or perhaps oval chainstay. It is easy to bump the pickup points out of...

In general the further up In general the further up your bottom bracket, the tighter the cockpit - think see-saw action. I'm around 5'-6.5", currently 190 pounds with a 32 inch waist and I have about 3 inches of clearance to the bottom of the handlebar clamps on the slider on my medium...

So your red hubs and red So your red hubs and red spoke nipples were part of your wheel purchase right? And as Charles noticed, where or how in the world did you get red links in your chain? Where did you find the red skewers? They look like a good color match. I'm also wondering...

Sorry to hear about the crash Sorry to hear about the crash Jim but glad to hear you are mostly OK. Sounds like the Vendetta cockpit mostly protected you as you went down - that was my experience anyway. The base of my right ring finger and pinky got gouged and scraped pretty good on my...
