I have been messaging with Paul through this especially in the early stages and it is absolutely horrible to be losing this great friend I was lucky enough to make.

This is a good concept for a double stand - which is an item that I tried to work on for the stock bike for a few years to no avail. As you mentioned - the frame is too high and all attempts to create a workable stand were either insane expensive, heavy, way too long, could not collapse properly...

For me, I mainly think of "steering" with my feet, while also not allowing my upper body to be so out of sync with what is happening that the front end wavers. There is a balance of both for sure. Once you become very smooth at the pedal strokes that is when you can actually ride hands free...

I don't have the RAL codes, but the YS codes that we use are: YS 7909 - Classic Vendetta Gold YS 8100 - Race Red YS 775 - Pearlized White

WD-40 is the scourge of hardware store/society - definitely don't use it on anything especially on a bike chain/bolts/etc. Only use it for water displacement/Atlas Missile corrosion if you have one.

This event is going to be awesome I can feel it!!

Any plain thread grease is good - does not necessarily need to be a "bike" branded kind. I have used Vaseline in a pinch before - just a tiny bit needed.

Whatever you do, DONT add a "rear rack" to this bike with a lot of weight. It was not designed for that type of thing given the amount that the rear can flex - not only up and down a bit for the rear spring-arm, but side to side if it were to have a bunch of weight added to it. On those rear...

Unfortunately there are no records of SN's for the bikes - they are totally random and usually on the BB shell from the factory that makes the shells. As far as specs - that can be tricky on a second owner bike if someone possibly changed a component, etc. The last handful of years nailing an...

I know now where I will move in someday.

The V20C fork has internal cabling so that is where the holes come from. The aluminum forks do not. Under ANY and ALL circumstances please please please - never ever ever ever ever drill holes in a fork or frame - on any bike of any brand - either for access for wiring or any other reason.

Yea! Perfect.

AWESOME!!!

No problem - - if it is an immediate need to get you on the road you can always take a Dremel or file to make room on that old one. The new one should allow for a perfect fit of that derailleur.

Michael, You look to have the original version hanger - please take a look at yours compared to this picture. Note that the new one has a much larger mounting radius on the flat - to better accommodate derailleurs that have a wider mounting face. You can see in the pic where I am pointing with...

Oh yikes. Sadly I can say for a fact that there are no longer replacement parts for that vintage of Vendetta at the warehouse. Hopefully someone here will have a spare part floating around.

I of course will be there . Unsure on the sleeping arrangements so far though.

It would be any that is a 68MM English Thread style - SRAM GXP style etc. If the chain stay is the style that has two separate clamps with two bolts each that hold it together to the shell itself (as opposed to the much much older version that had the one piece/one bolt clamp that clamped to a...

The front bracket on the V20C is aluminum.
