Winter cup 1. stage

Participated in the first stage of the local winter cup. It was about 20 degrees celcius, but winter will come for sure. Finished 3rd after a tough battle with number two "Lauritz Betjent". A local professional photographer who is a club member was out taking photos on the day. I think he shot a few good ones of me on my Rush.

Scalpel a no go

It's been about 2½ years since my last post here. It's not because time has been standing still, but there is a life out there that needs to be lived. Much has happened since I sold the Rivette. I bought a Cannondale Scalpel 68 and moved all the components from the Reivette to it. I got it under 9 kg but the geometry just didn't fit me, so I sold it again. Here is how it looked.


In my next posting I'll bring you up to date on my current bikes.

Going too light

As you might know I have been building some rather light bikes in the past, but have always focused on the style and looks of my bikes. The danish Rivette H6 is the best fitting bike I have owned to date and the clean looks helped by internal cable routing is a nice touch. It also the lightest bike I have ever owned at just under 8kg. Unfortunally this was also the bike that I had the worst crash with, which involved a broken collar bone and a lot of bruises at the 2006 Sea Otter Classic. After a month of healing I decided to sell the bike due to the bad carma.
