    Would da could of The disappointing part of that ride was the Cop Block (chemical spill apparently up the road). Going straight from that point it's 2 miles down hill at 30+ mph; then snaky woods through 5 river valleys; that's where all the fall color canopy is and all the short steep climbs...

    Videos from the road

    Rolling along. So this was suppose to be a nice short video to explain our milk roads; up and down valley hills, and some fall colors. Mostly because Rick confused MN with flat landers. At least that's what it was suppose to be when I left the house. A detour, a dog, and a damaged rider...

    Shoot 95% more than you need Thanks Rick; I find making the video is a fun way to review the season. We don't really plan these things we just shoot ALOT of photos and videos; too many is better than too few. We make the kids make video now and then; teaches them that sometimes you don't have...

    Are those things comfortable.

    Forgot to update this thread Hmm I could have sworn I updated this with a Vendetta on the rack photo. Robert, We did about 1500 miles with the rack; 1, 2 and 4 bikes loaded no complaints. Here's the rack loaded with a V2.0 as you can see for the V and S models if you don't move...

    Vendetta V20

    Accidents ...sure Just for the record. One photo in 1000 is lucky; your success rate has more to do with a good eye, a descent camera, annoyingly good weather, and a good helping of skill.

    Vendetta V20

    Sizing and the art of photos Interesting how much better the bike looks with a rider on it in motion. So are there going to be sizes for the new Vendetta? You can tell that bike Maria is on is bigger than the custom smalls you see in the race photos from the last too years. Perhaps it's...

    New Silvio build.

    Bars & Wheels I like the Midge and Gary's on the Vendetta because of the boom position they are low enough to give me good Aero and do not mess with my broken and battered shoulder. You have to cut about 4-6 inch off the ends and then they are perfect. Kudos to Jim Parker for convincing me to...

    Disc Well just had the brake conversation so your timing is good, cut and past to the rescue. I never under stand disc brakes as a need unless you ride in the rain all the time or massive mountains. I have bb5 disc brakes on the quests and they are a pain in the butt and I know what I'm...

    Ok I've been holding my Ok I've been holding my thoughts on this.... Many good comments here that don't need to be repeated. To those I will add this: Observations: Sales drive design in small firms. The V 2.0 is still in stock; that's not because they were making more of...
