Specialization Matters The paint shop specializes in bikes and motorcycles. They where working on 3 bikes the day I arrived and had 2 in prep the day I picked up my finished parts. This was their standard powder coating, but the stuff they use is formulated for this use; they have about...

Velcro is from Aliens The the Ventisit comes with Velcro built into the pad down the center. You can see the seat pan piece attached in Post #20 of this thread. That big piece of wide velcro on the orange seat pan is what you use. Works really well. The pad in these photos was just for show so...

Edited to restore missing photos from forum upgrade. Post Prep round 1 Time to pieces it back together. New Drive Train Avid Brakes and Ventisit Seat Ready For new logos. Going to leave that task to the wife; she's the clever one for that stuff. Gratuitous Glitter Fork...

Sparkles Framesets That is the Q1 from post #4. In the dark from the distance the bike will look black; up close it will look dark green and black; in the sun light it will look light green with black that sparkles the affect is pretty cool.

Meanwhile back in the Bike shop So this arrived today. Star dust black Emerald green with fleck and clear coat Different in the light versus the dark; looks great in the sun light. Off to the bike ship for a chase and face of the...

iRatz iRatz. Must follow the 3 laws. iRatz may not support the hoarding of bike budgets of forum members or, through inaction, allow their budgets to remain un-used. iRatz must avoid for a 1 year period new technology released by bike companies, except where such avoidance would...

I was guessing Rick I was guessing that the rods and clamps could exactly replace what you have; but would need your bottom connecting bracket. The difference would be that they are more adjustable and anodized black. These...

Internal wires rock Wow that is really really sweet. I was thinking about that when viewing Steve's picture. My uncertainty was about the drilling of the exit hole and where to place it without weakening the chain stay. I'll have to get my nerve up to do that; but probably will. The...

You could.... Don't smack me; You could.... Don't smack me; get two Bacchetta seat rods and two clamps; that would make it really clean and black. total cost would be about $80. How do I know? There's apparently a Bob Pankratz in Michigan who rides a Bacchetta; I have his parts :)

Batteries That's a good question Larry, I have been trying to piece it all together; and frankly it's not documented well anywhere which is typical of Shimano. I had to watch about 5 videos and read about 20 reviews to figure out what Steve probably had learned / done. Here's what I...

And here come the questions. Steve, Question 1: How did you tap the hole the stem for the plate, a drill and then a thread cutter? Question 2: rubber grommet on the wire hole; necessary or cosmetic? Question 3: In an older photo you had just what looked like a pin on the...

Ok who has Di2 installed on their Vendetta? I'm looking for detailed photos of anything clever you did for installing the batteries and the wires. While searching for components for this winters Silvio Bullhorn Brifter project I got stupid lucky and scored a Ultregra Di2 6870 groupo...

Yeah Post #6 that's not spam Yeah Post #6 that's not spam at all. Good lord these people need to do something to contribute to society... perhaps medical experimentation....

ssshhhhh Just don't tell Chung and Steamer they'd never approve.

The Q version 3 x 26" is what you want. I have a Q1, Q2, Q3 in the Garage (err basement, it's winter). I can confirm the that a 700cx23 will not fit on the Q1 (front and back), Q2 (front no, (back almost)) nor the Q3 x 20" (front) The Q3 x 26" version will fit a 700cx23 both front and...

NIce work Wish I'd seen that before I sent off the quest; I think I would have done the fork and the clamps like you did. Hopefully the black stardust will pop as nicely as what you have there. Darn shame that's not on the road yet. Shoot me a PM I might have the donor bike you are looking...

ATV will be tested Across the room from me is a TV with an ATV on it (we cut the cable tv cord, 7 years ago).; But it's not in a good position to be the main bike display, but it's something I'll test and report on. The kids might have a fit if I put the trainer front and center in the play...

Don't have any around but I Don't have any around but I'm betting 650c would fit on the Q2 with similar results.

Nice improvements. 2 Nice improvements. 2 Questions: What size are the Mavics? 50 mm or low profile? Did the 88's get pushed around in the wind. Might be interesting to test with one type on back and the other on the front; then flip it. That would tell which wheel is...

Perfect Thanks Eric that's perfect and cheap. Parts ordered. Since this thread is Project Quickr I was going to take yet another tangent and test software and report how it works On the list is Wahoo Fitness App (Manual Training) Wahoo Segments (Ride old sides from the summer)...
