So how many recumbent riders have we?

[NickM]

When I say "just one", that's until the ferry gets in on Monday with No.2

Ooh, ooh - come on, spill the beans! Lowracer? Trike? Velomobile?

Ferry was cancelled because of bad weather last week :-(

It's now due in on Thursday - 42 hours and counting . . .

 

[NickM]

But what is it?

Are you going to be hammering me at Hillingdon on some exotic carbon job?

 

[mcd]

Riding it at Hillingdon depends on actually getting the bike, and working out the logistics of transporting it (and it's glass case ). Even then, I'll not have had much time on it - so I wouldn't worry if I were you. As for what it is, in the photos it does indeed look an "exotic carbon job". I hope I'm not going to be disapointed when it comes out of the box.

Can anyone say uncompromising? Is that it?

 

[NickM]

Have you been to Krakow? If so, gah - one is positively with envy. The arms race hots up!

Just bear in mind, Keith, that the more exotic the bike, the more it's like buying a kit - they often require quite a lot of sorting-out time before they are actually ridable... but I do hope you have it ready for Hillingdon.

Does this mean you'll be aiming to complete a whole series next year? Do you worry about baggage handlers, and getting from port/airport to circuit?

When I say my warehouse......

 

[spandex]

I had a PDQ till last year

 

[Andy in Sig]

What happened then?

 

[spandex]

What happened then?

I had it 5 years and killed it by doing 45miles ish a day over 2years and doing no work on it then leaving it for 3 years in my shed. Then at the start of this year i got it up and running with a good clean and then 2 weeks later some guy sore it and waved some notes at me. The mad thing is it was just £50 off what i payed for it 5 years ago
