Of further interest: The Crateworks recumbent box inner dimenaions are 8 " X 26 " 59.25". The ~58" monotube length of a Medium Giro might probably fit inside....
I've found that the front brake cable on my Strada tends to swing out and interfere with my left foot, especially during right turns. It's nothing dangerous...
Hi, 3 Bacchettas and two trikes showed up for today's 200 K Brevet today. It was very cold with a high of 43 degrees with winds out of the northwest in the ...

Yesterday did my first bent century on the Aero. Had bands of chafing on the inside of my thighs about 1 inch down from the groin. Any suggestions? Thanks ...
Yesterday was a beautiful day in NH/VT (Kevin, please don't send that 40 degree stuff east)and I tried a century on the Aero - amazing bike! My riding time...
Great ride guys! Maybe we should we call you the "Killer J's"? If all it took was a first initial of "J", I'd change my name to Jorge! Jorge - maybe it will...
Don't know about the OFA bag holding the bladder but I really don't know why you would want to carry almost 9 pounds of water on the bike. Especially near the...
I agree with George. For long rides, I have found that a 70 oz bladder in a Fastback Carbon (attaches under the M5 seat), plus a 24 ounce bottle is just about...
What a great venue. Nice tough 18.7 mile loop. This s a must do if you think you want to race recumbents. Closes thing to real road racing just for recumbents...

The Fastback water bottle holder just came out. I have only had it for a couple of weeks. Fastback does not yet have on-line ordering, but you can probably...
KK, sounds like a tough cold ride. When is your next brevet and where? You opened Keith's eyes on what you have been saying about the hills on these rides. ...
