Yeah, it makes a big difference to be attached to the pedals! Even old style toe clips makes a difference!

Yes, I meant "sit up". Sorry for the typo .

Congratulations and Great work! Tips: Don't go too fast too soon. Old reflexes can surprise you, so just take your time to practice the slow stuff. Seat up over speed bumps, rough patches, sandy patches and sharp corners When resuming to pedal after freewheeling gradually ease into the...

Maybe there needed to have been a few days of acclimatization period for Larry?

Whether it's the French head angle of 55-60 deg. or the cruzbike and Itallian (Marco's) 68-72 deg head angle , the rider can learn to ride hands free even up a slope. The human brain and body is amazing, it can adapt to almost anything, given sufficient time. Look at Marco riding up a climb...

I think, that's should be a french DIY bamboo MBB built by a lady called Oryanne. The build details are in the french forum http://velorizontal.1fr1.net/t20072p200-td-bambou-carbone

It will require quite a bit of modification of the seat, seat stays and the steerer/boom to make it resemble a poor man's S40. It's not impossible but the resulting mod may not be as stiff as the real S40 at the bottom bracket and seat area. Secondly the wheelbase of the T50 is also shorter...

Congratulations! Let's see the new beauty!

I agree, but at my weight of 67.5Kg I cannot loose anymore without risking being under weight and loose power. The bike needs to weigh something like 10Kg or at most 12Kg to be reasonable for me.

Thanks! I wouldn't mind loosing 3 or 4 Kgs from the bike though! So that S40 is welcome!

Thanks! Jamo is a great guy and a powerful rider! We are just having fun trying to beat each otther on the road.

Yes, I'am a Christian! And those are members of a church cycling club. Great guys! Lot's of fun riding with them. About the S40 frame, it would be very flattering to own one! My DIY is pretty close in geometry: wheelbase 113cm , seat reclined at about 37° and lowest part is 58cm from the...

Another weekend ride I may not have shared. Hope you enjoy it. Here goes:

Congratulations! Nice setup too! That Thor seat mount detail would also be appreciated.

Wow! extremely radical MBB build! Not too far from Marco's Rev HTH v2 build but Marco's weighs only about 10Kg(22 pounds)

Nicely executed !

... plus you can always double wrap the handlebar for thicker more comfortable grip.

Yeah! ..now that's what I'am talkin' about! Love it ! Me want this! haha!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Beautiful country, nice roads! Great ride!
