Those showed up on BROL a couple of months back. Looking forward to hearing what you think.

Larry had a bad streak of crashes training and racing lately and was be self referential and self deprecating. I don't think anyone here is riding with fear after the first 100 miles unless they are doing 40mph+ down hill

Is that a sock on your bike or are you ....

Abbot along that thought line if you are thinking of some custom stitch stuff and embroidery. My mother has the massive brother machine but not the software to covert AI files to brother format. But given the files that option is out their to make custom stuff look cool.

Or just make a streamliner by combining the t-trike and a two piece velo body with a hinge in the middle to let the front end tilt and turn.

Might fit nicely in a vendetta rear triangle.

It is more comfortable. Exact same shape. The lack of the seam and carbon make it feel more comfortable. I did the upgrade because I cracked my other one. On the vendetta I consider it worth it. On the Silvio I think the suspension makes the old one just fine. Ricks upgrade would be more viable...

Building on that; the v20 and s30 have the new carbon fiber seat versus the hybrid carbon/fiberglass. It's lighter and a fair bit more comfortable than the Vendetta 2 and Silvio 2.0/2.1. The Ventisit pads are a nice upgrade for many over the foam legacy ones. Depends on what you like. When...

That would be the 3D+ 110bcd. Super expensive $539 for the 150mm and then you still need the $100 adapter. You'd be far better off with a custom set from bikesmith of APEX; and then pair that with the XD-15 bottom bracket; you'd spend less and the cranks would spin and spin and spin...

Says the guy with the Apache. :cool: I say just do it. Get the Vendetta and we'll let you make us look brilliant after you master it. Fortunately even if the Apache gets dusty there no shame in have a lightly ridden rare bike. :rolleyes:

Yep the Minoura one is probably a better all around clamp (I have a several of them from the trike days) the adapter is stronger sans the ability to quickly remove the entire assembly for sprints and other light weight events; The only thing I didn't like was it was closer to the bar leaving...

The topeak solution from last year should be good for a short term solution and it's cheap. This years' version, stay tuned there might be news on that front pending. Mrs ratz's frame should get here this week and then the next round of beta tests can get back on track.

always good when you make the rest of us look smart when we said you'd have no problem; and then you go out and busted butt to make it true. Well done.

500ml perfect for fuel mixes; also super easy to pull while riding. Fit the stock seat perfectly. http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/gear/product/airway.aero.water.bottle.cage.kit/562/56236/ I drink 1 per hour; and with three it's easy to mix up a new bottle or 2 at a stop The price is so...

yep mrs ratz has permanent socks for the rest for summer. That what happens if you wear knickers on a sunny ride. :p

1 on the boom, two under the seat; two behind the head. You can see more of them here: http://cruzbike.com/forum/threads/how-i-spent-my-summer-vacation.7599/#post-30103

And back on topic. RR, CA2, M5CHR different bikes from my vantage. Keep the one that is most different; the CA2, lose the M5CHR and Hot rod out a Vendetta. With your years riding you'll master MBB no doubt and probably enjoy the minor challenge of learning something new. Once you are...

Did a rough 8-12% that was just under 2 miles this weekend. At ¾ of the way I did the rock and roll gave the legs a break by leveraging other muscles. Also gave me a huge power burst. A completely wasteful and inefficient power burst but exactly 900 watts I needed right then. I needed it since I...

I wore a pink panther costume on a jet ski once; pink is not a faster color. As you can see below it did happen.

The bottle system works great; I never liked the bladders, to much unstable weight; road a 70mile today never had to add fluid. Every 10 minutes I'm taking a swig of http://www.hammernutrition.com/products/perpetuem-reg-.pp.html Works great; I carry 3 bottle premixed of this 75 miles; double...
