    V20 framesset on ebay

    Probably Very likely the person that won it at the show in IL; doubtful there would be any other new v20 in the wild in IL that someone did really want in the first place. That's disappointing but it's tempting to low ball bid it no?

    Platform for recumbent on rollers

    definately not a waste Larry, Not sure that was a waste; it certainly solves the foot down problem. I haven't considered rollers for that very problem: How the heck to get my foot to the ground without creating unintended entertainment for the kids.

    Vendetta Di2 Users

    Red in Da' House Phillip, That looks great. I believe you are the first Red Di2; or the first with photographic proof (which is all that counts). Very Smart idea using the 5 port junction to avoid the internal junction. and now the questions: 1) How long of wires Did it take to...

    Silvio Di2 - Utlegra 6870 11 Speed

    So last night the basement morphed into a bike shop. Started with a Silvio 2.0 outfitted with a 10 speed SRAM configuration which I dissembled and cleaned. Yike the BB on these MBB get dirty fast. Guess that will be an annual clean and grease project. The Plan for this...

    Straight arms. For a TT like effort, You need straight arms and in tight to the body. A bent or flared arm will hurt you If I recall correctly, Maria P had a bike with Gunner bars for RAM that was destroyed in the RAAM accident and never raced; I assume she trained on it enough to...

    Ready to build the ultimate Vendetta racing machine

    Aero Aero aero. Echoing... At Vendetta speeds Aero Aero aero. I often feel dorky with my full visor helmet; that is until I get 2-5mph more on a down hill than can get with my helmet functioning as a braking parachute. Just wish we had longer down hills to really enjoy it.

    Watts is watts Watts per Kilogram is constant across rides for comparison. Everything else is variable. Once fully adapted to a bike you can look at your watts/kg on a given day and compare it to another day; that will tell you the state of your engine and how it performed that day. How...
