What's the min time for a 200?
I may have to stop for a break at the 199km mark

Awesome.

How does it handle compared to your Trice?

Ooh, but that was just begging to be a Caption It pic. If that was presumptuous of me, just say and I'll delete the thread.

No need to delete the thread, I'm GFAL

That looks like a rocket!

I saw a very cheerful Danial Webb heading in the opposite direction near the Ladybower Inn this morning.
He was right to be cheerful, it was a nice day for it. Doubt he saw me but I did shout hello.

Ran in to Oaky and A N Other (sorry, forgot his name) — sans vélo — at The Compasses in Littley Green.

Think I saw Cyklisten out on the Pevensey Levels this afternoon, I was going the other way in the car $:-\$

Was meant to try and join up with the local cycling club but either no one was interested or they left at one minute past nine...So off I tootled on my own. Met Nuncio in Glynneath. Later after struggling up the Rhigos and the Bwlch saw Bloody Hills leading a ctc group up the hill as I was going down. Managed to get passed by the Cardiff Ajax club run tho

And good fun it is too
It definitely stops people in their tracks

Useless without pictures, obviously

Crappy phone pic

Only just put the gps bracket on it and a quick ride around the block had it up to an easy 45kph
It seems hard to get its 81lb (+ my 200lb) up to speed but once it's up there it goes well.

Are those solar panels on the top?

I was going to say it seems a bit heavy, but doing a quick metric conversion it's competitive with a Quest. The Mango does come in a pared-down 27kg (60lb) version, though.

Yes, they charge the 12v battery for the lights and indicators.
I think Rob said this one is the 2nd prototype and the new one is lighter.
Had it out for a short 30km ride around the lake and local cycle paths today.
It's bloody warm with the roof on so most of the ride was with it off, when going slow I was asked if I minded having my pic taken.
Queue of kids standing next to it while their dads took pic's.
Then more taken and Q's asked while I was in traffic later.
It's definitely a head turner

Andrij, outside the Compasses at Littley Green earlier.

Teethgrinder buttonholed me as I was standing about in the A5 Rangers clubhouse on Sunday morning, about to do an LVRC road race. Surprised to see him there, I asked him if he was racing too! But he was there to help marshal.

He had a bike with gears on it, whatever next?

He must have been looking after it for someone...

Christophe, and his amazingly slack chain

, at the lights on Aldwych.

Rode together to Liv. St. (although our paths briefly diverged when I turned left off London Wall onto Moorgate to approach via Eldon St while Christophe went straight on) and had a good chinwag on the train.

I saw someone this evening in Richmond Park wearing a Yacf kotm jersey, about 6pm just after Robin Hood rab.

Better late than never but I saw several at Mildenhall

Dr Mekon has just been in for coffee

He brought cakes - so he is welcome back any time!

DrMekon · « **Reply #771 on:** 03 September, 2010, 01:19:48 pm »

Lovely coffee. My cheap ready ground muck isn't hitting the spot after those cups this morning.

That look over your gorgeous Amazon has tipped me over the edge; just ordered my 5th stem in an effort to get comfy on my bike.

Is that a euphanism

The Gorgeous Amazon doesn't live at Regulator's; she's in London.

Given Reg's ~~prediclklicktion~~ prediliction for giving his possessions a name..
'bent = va Regina
tent-trailer = Priscilla

I wondered if "amazon" referred to something in particular
