I had to make a pact with Miz Diane. Finish some honey-do projects first...then build the bike. The frame went back in the box, it will be nearly a month before I start on it...if I can stand it that long! And yes, this is a frame kit. I will be scavenging all the parts off of my V20 to build...

Ooooooo...cool Blue! Looks even better in person. I am going to have serious difficulties trying to NOT build this up immediately...

Looked like this inside...

This was on my front porch today...

Here's the V20 in all her glory. Those red rims may cause eyestrain with the blue S40 frame...

Life happens. My long time riding buddy, my elder brother, passed away a year ago. He was a driving influence on my need for speed. He couldn't ride fast...so I did in order for him to live it vicariously. When he passed, I stopped riding for a while...and then we decided to retire early, sell...

I've been running 2x11 RotorQs/SRAM Rival 11 (11-32 I think) on my V20 for years now. Yah, a little fiddly to get it set up but once set, it just runs and runs. I just bought a Blue S40 frameset and I'll be xferring the running gear from my V20 to it (and putting the V20 frame in the...

Sorry, I've been out of pocket lately. Yes, I had mine mounted 'upside down' for exactly one ride. It was comfy until I hit a large bump. When I bounced, the neckrest mount dug into the nape of my neck, which hurt! Now I have the neckrest installed to the bottom mount of the tailbox...much mo'...

The first iteration of my V20 used a Fastback (half of a "double century" bag). It worked fine but did end up hanging out into the slipstream beneath the seat. Didn't affect me at all, of course...being incapable of holding much more than 22mph on the flats. I used it for my camelback bladder...

Actually, I modified the light itself rather than mod the rear post. I simply found a clamp that was small enough to fit and adapted it to the light's bracket. There's approx. 2l of volume in the Race Case (I'm running a 2l Camelbak bladder in there), absent the bottle mounts. If you went with...

I'm running a Moose Pack (which is not in the picture below) and the carbon box. The carbon box contains my water bladder (I dislike bottles, prefer the Camelbak)...and mounts my tail-light. I could probably put a few protein bars in there but that's hardly worthwhile to me. The Moose Pack...

I'm going to try it again. I never even got started last year...for a variety of issues (mostly mine). I've got the V20 set up on the Kickr Snap, got the apps (Android), Wahoo bits (Cadence, HR, Speed), a fan and a scale. I had trouble last year trying to coordinate the apps with my computer and...

Glad to see the iOS app out there...positive movement, at last! The Android app is supposedly 2-3 weeks behind...I'm keeping my fingers crossed for November shipments.

Hmmm. Build anything at a low price-point intended for mass appeal and go so far as to offer it in "black only" (colors are special limited options). Yer gonna have to deal with an obvious historical reference: The Model T Ford. Take that reference head-on and call your widget "T". Sounds like...

Yes, that's the one I could never get to work last year. I not try that again until I can make sure the software is functioning. I got so frustrated trying to debug it last year that I just gave up (training rides). "Eight minute" is a misnomer. It takes a full hour to complete and I never got...

Ok, that makes much more sense. I was thinking along those lines. I imagine they take an average speed for the last x laps and pro-rate your distance based on when you go thru the gate again. Probably the easiest course of action. Thanks!

My plan for today is to try the "Fletcher" and see if I can simply ride within my 180-age HR. That seems very low (120) but I'm going to try!

So...is this a pre-loaded plan we can access in Trainer Road (or Training Peaks or whatever)? Or, it is simply a list of 'rides' that we follow in TP? Last year I gave up partly because I could not get my PC and Phone and Trainer to function together...it was a total PITA (I never got thru a...

I don't understand the results. How can you have a "6hr" event and have someone post a time of 7:24? (two-person team in 2nd place behind Jim). I can understand stopping riders from taking another lap if there is insufficient time left to make a full lap...but it looks like some riders kept...

Yah, mine are 6-bolt. No clearance issues with the 160/140 combo.
