    Comparing Vendetta to DF speeds

    Hit those hills. The fitter you get, the bigger the better. :eek: Just remember the V loves rolling hills. And try hitting those anti G spots and see how the gazelle jumps. I luv hunting Roadies down. It's a pleasure. Up hills they have an advantage unless they are carrying a lot of weight...

    Little tweaks

    So I am back to fiddling around on the Vendetta. 5cm has been taken off the headrest. A cylindrical piece of wood has been fitted by a couple of small screws each side. It looks strong enough to last for 10 years. LOL So it should be a very interesting ride tomorrow. I would love to be able to...

    Larry Oz - 2017 ride-report

    I enjoyed the write up and the pictures. If you didn't have the camera on your bike how much time would it save or how much extra distance could you get?

    It would need a Jason strap

    Bienvenida indeed! No looking back now... No one's going to catch you

    Eye catching

    Well oddly enough whilst looking outside at the rain thinking... Well perhaps it wasn't such a bad idea to skip on the racing today I saw another gadget it the bike porn mag. This one is only 300€ so it looks like a bargain but I can't find much about it. The only issue would be that it extends...

    Treading carefully

    Ok ... Things haven't gone as planned for me. Basically I am too sloppy with my scheduling. If I am going to race I need to mark the registration down at least 2 weeks before the race with my bike configuration fixed. I am nervous as hell and haven't got peace of mind. The bike shop haven't...

    Treading carefully

    A question about handlebars and wind tunnels. It makes some sense to have the handlebar closer to the body as the air is being rushed over the body so there would be less forward resistance so if you have bull horns... Why not have them shaped like Scottish highland cattle horns so that when you...

    Treading carefully

    Sunday in the back yard of Cartagena. It's called "The Trophy of the Golden Tuna" should be good if it could be elected by a golden bike shaped like a tuna :eek:. It's usually a crazy affair. The headrest should be finished on Saturday. So it's a finger in the air. The race starts at 10:30...

    Treading carefully

    Ok. Another bit of crazy prep just before a race. The headrest has gone into the workshop for a 5cm reduction in size. It's as they say... Size matters... It's how you use it. I will be trying out the new tubeless front deep rim that got replaced with a 23mm schwalbe pro one , aka the @ratz...

    I had a big argument this morning so I am feeling like channeling the anger

    Well I got a surprise today, the Mrs didn't quite approve of my idea in participating in the local hooligan cycling race at the weekend. It's very tough and last years winners seemed to have super human strength. She was in fear. "Basically... If your in it to win it then I won't be very happy...

    Something new - rather old - or (has Larry gone back to the DARK SIDE)

    Change the front fork assembly to be a carbon graphene combo. (Even I would buy that)

    Diet: Low Carb and Ultra Cycling

    I've had a crazy time after the Sebring race. Better get back on that diet. Instead of it going to my head ... It's gone to my stomach. America is a place of abundance. That's for sure. I really enjoyed myself over there but oddly enough pleased to be back.

    Bike In Bleckley 2017

    With his bike setup, the handlebar is really incredibly close to his belly. It would in fact be impossible to over eat. You should really see it to believe it. The best photo to do it justice is when Larry is in the wind tunnel; it's an overhead shot. It's totally incredible and fearless...

    Are there any other spin offs like road insurance with the membership?

    Sebring from my seat

    Yep ... Very pleased to meet you too. I enjoyed your write up. So many new experiences too that we shared. I felt so much better after the 11 mile ride on Friday. The nerves and worries seem to disappear.

    The Road to Sebring, Around Sebring and Back again - Part 1

    Interesting, Pro One 23c up front, Reduction in drag , did Tanya ride this configuration as well? I couldn't believe how bumpy the road was up at Frostproof, I thought marshaling was poor. I would have preferred to have seen cautionary signs on the roads like the one on airport road that says...

    The Road to Sebring, Around Sebring and Back again - Part 1

    I am kind of curious, what tire did you finally ride with?
