I did it. I bought Rat Rider's Vendetta TT. The last yellow Vendetta :) So now we do the dance and wait for checks to clear and boxes to be delivered. Since I own a lowracer I have all the bike bag solutions I need to make the Vendetta work. I have a co-worker with a sewing machine and some...

Thank you Sir Rat Rider.

The first wave has reached Paris and finished.

I have been watching PBP 2015 videos to see what the Paris Brest Paris Cruzbikers are doing for on-bike storage. (see PBP thread for info). I have seen a number of things. Moose is using the Apidura mid-pack for the big stuff and his custom moose pockets for small stuff (tools, rain jacket...

In the later videos I was able to spot more Cruzbikes. I saw a lot of MBB zockras as well. The third video provides some interesting footage to compare the side profile of various recumbents. It is obvious how high stick bikes are compared to the M5 CHR and the CHR compared to the Vendetta...

Moose is riding his Silvio and I spotted three Vendettas and a Silvio Start: Near Start: 18+ hours in: Vendettas can be found in all of the shots and I found it interesting how low they are compared to stick bikes.

Good luck on PBP. I will be scouring the web for PBP pictures with a V in it.

I checked with Don Smith and he hasn't made a zotefoam pad for a Vendetta v20 yet. And he is out of foam for a while. So I will do the Ventisit back order.

Abbot What meter do you use? I have a pebble watch and it links to my phone. If I can dig up the API used to get data from your meter I'll bet it wouldn't be hard to make a pebble watchface to display it. My pebble watch is ~$100, waterproof and has ~7 day battery life. It wouldn't be a HUD...

Lowest speed? I am in. I can go slow on my raptobike, very very slow :). Bringing my trike to this would be cheating.

I do a lot of ad hoc analysis during integrations. That means I am writing things like "find . -type f -name asset\*xml | xargs grep posterBoardPath | awk -F = '{print $2}' | sort | uniq -c" or similar. It varies. I like python a lot. In 1999 I swore off perl since I couldn't maintain it...

I do a variety of things though the regex xkcd is more me*. I left IT in the 90s. But since your average IT dept nowadays doesn't know unix I moonlight on occasion. When all the developers are on linux and target embedded platforms it can make IT nervous. *no perl though. awk, python, sed...

Abbot, It is good to see how well you are adapting to the Vendetta. I can't wait to see it in person again.

You have my phone number Abbott. If you need anything give me a call, I may something hidden in my garage to help. I love how Robert's build time-lapse came out just in time.

Thanks Rick

I put the mango up for sale today. If anyone is looking for a used Velomobile for about $7800 feel free to PM me or email me. http://www.bentrideronline.com/messageboard/showthread.php?p=1311229#post1311229 I will throw up a blog post about it later too.

FYI - I take pictures. If you want here is a selection of my pictures on flickr tagged with Raptobike. https://www.flickr.com/search/?w=10231719@N02&q=raptobike

I may be getting a video camera too.

My wife is similar. She is 5ft nothing with shorter legs.

You could credit card tour with that setup.
