Yep...pure rear wheel figure..LOL!

Would like to get one that measures from the crank though, so I can post some fictional power figs like those 999 boys!

Looks like your ready to take on Jeff Baines then Harv, Since his Pembrey crash his better half will not allow him to race anything else with 2 wheels other than a pushbike

You could have taken the wrapping off the back wheel...

Riding position looks just like the 916 mate..!!

If God had meant us to pedal he'd never have let mankind invent engines....

Why use fractions of a horsepower when you can have a hundred odd horsepower doing all the work for you :confused:

Should you check the rear ride height???

Your quite right....ride height was checked as these piccies where taken as the bike was received from the previous owner.

Good job I checked...i needed to raise the saddle by another 20 mm...I kid ye 'not!

Yeah, nice bike if time-triallings your thing, but it would be even better in red and, more importantly, with proper Italian components, not that stuff from some wannabee Oriental company ;)

Time trials for fun (!) and as a means of training for an Ironman Tri next year...taking it out tomorrow for its first blast...10 mile TT...fingers crossed its dry.

Best of luck....If you're blessed with a nice flat-back aero position, that thing will fly....mate of mine returned to time-trialling a couple of years ago... Last year, at the age of 44 he did a 20:40. When we were racing in the late 70's / early 80's he struggled to get under 22 minutes (I was faster than him then...don't think I would be now!)

And, of course, between 20 and 30 mph, you'll be a sight more comfortable than you would be on a 748!
