Time will tell. No need for a prototype, the new bike is set for launch, it is based on the TDP2 will be released at the World Cup This summer. After the first 10 go to French customers they will start building units for the rest of us. The first two US Units (supposedly #11 and #12) go to...

There shall be no tangents... There shall be no tangents... (he says to him self).... Thanks Jeremy I didn't know that; last time I tried 6-7 years ago we couldn't make it work, but that's been a while. So that opens some options.

One more thing One other thing to remember is that balance is a core muscle function (every seen the torso muscle on gymnists?); On a bike the Trunk/Torso Muscle control balance; and the father you lay back the more the shoulder come into play too. So as you get into better and better...

Why.... two word Why switch? Simple.... Road Brifters. If you have ones for caliper brakes that's what you use; they are just now coming out with ones that use Disc Brakes and they cost 450+ for a pair. Then there are the wheels; if you have 130mm non disc wheels that's what you use. Disc is...

Just in time Just in time for the next kid up to steal your M5. It only gets better after you adapt to the bike.

Looks pretty Slick there Looks pretty Slick there Colin; I really thought you were going to make me keep waiting to see what it looked like.

Oh yeah large. forgot I forgot you had a large; that's what I am using on the Silvio too; I had both sizes on hand, because we used the Mediums' on the Quest for tire repair supplies. If you wanted to use two Large ones they might be a tighter fit. They might have to be squished on the front...

New Certified rider Jerome is hereby certified as a born natural for the MBB platform. Hopefully we'll get some pics of him and his new bike in the future. I forgot to grab the camera and take Photos for Charles. For the record and those that keep track of things Experienced on...

If one is good two is better. I had an evening to tinker and I found a good way to hang two TopPeak Medium Wedge Bags (The bag Ivan used) to the head rest of the Vendetta or Silvio by building on my water bottle setup. The results are excellent. They worked well on a 60 miler today. Both...

BMX might be the place to looks For a starter have a look at http://www.diacompe.com.tw/product_list.asp?psclass=26&p=1 the "Dirty Hary" and the "Gold Finger" series have the pull direction you want and they are compact; and they have Removeable mounting brackets. With something like that...

Noodling on the problem.... Eric, If you stay with the reversed brakes why not use some Jagwire Felxible Brake Noodles. You can get them in black but the color usually rubs off so just get sliver. http://www.niagaracycle.com/categories/jagwire-flexible-brake-noodle-bag-of-10 I...

Adding can be undone If I was new to the platform I would add a spacer because you can always cut later; if you want a lower handlebar later you can cut the steem; the reverse is not true :). Since you are new to the platform that keeps your options open.

Something with a reduction sleave ? Ah the fun of hunter for brake levers. What that exact OD on the bullhorns? My guess is your best bet is to find an MTB lever that includes the reduction sleeve or probably something from the BMX world. This is one that might work for you. If it's not...

Following up... I've been able to follow up on some minor thoughts from this thread. Talking with Jim Parker over email; I decided to go on an extensive hunt for an Origin8 Gary Bar in 31.8mm for the Vendetta build. I got lucky and found some after about 3 days of hunting. They are the...

As a follow up... The epoxy has worked well; the derailleur and hanger have stayed in place all season without any problems changing the wheel; but I do crack the chain when I have time and the tools. Now that the Vendetta is built and almost debugged; I'll be able to do without the Silvio...

Happy build time.... 1. It is normal on any bike build to potentially have to file down the steerer column or add a spacer. Either will work. 2. Against the rubber bands and yes it's fiddly 3. Those are optional for attaching the top of the seat to the head rest polls. They are for...

Yep we've been there a couple of time. Here you go http://cruzbike.com/lets-talk-front-wheel-removal

You can A SRAM 11-32 fits well; and an 11-34 PG950 will also fit but it is just a tad harder to get the wheel off without removing the derailleur. We have a PG950 on one Quest and I can climb a wall pulling a 70lb trailer load with two moving children with that cassette. For the leg...

Giro Air Attack Helmet with Giro Air Attack Helmet with or without the visor works for me on both the Silvio and the Vendetta; the back of the helmet is high enough not to interfere with the headrest. ((Note I have qty 1 8-mile ride on the Vendetta so take that with a grain of salt). Took...

I haven't been able to upload photos for forums posts for a couple of days. So I put this post up over at BROL with the photos. I'll add the photos here when the forum is fixed. http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?p=1229976#poststop First thing I noticed was...
