Ever had a week when you couldn't remember why you started the project in the first place, your old bike was fine anyway, what does my wife look like again ?, mumble, mumble ....

This week was one such until today, when I finally got Electric Blue on the road.

Now I've remember why I do it. It's fun, and you get a bike to ride afterwards. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm just off for a lie down awhile in a dark room that does not look like my garage

See youse at Eastway - can't make CC, unfortunately (or is it? two hours, indeed ...)

Looks really good Rob...

I reckon you can still claim Sports Class... Doesn't look much lower than a Hurricane to me... :o)

Look forward to seeing that lapping me at Eastway...

Alan.

Wasps !!   Where  ??

Unfortunately, other 'arf thinks she should have a life too, and is running the London Marathon on that Sunday in preparation for her 24hr race (!?) in another month or two in Hull, which means that I am child sitting. In all safety's sake, I can't really drive down to CC, race, and drive back with the two cherubims in the car...

Plus - 2hrs ? not spent that long on a recumbent yet ....

Well done Rob - it looks great!  I look forward to seeing it in flesh (or epoxy!)

Good job! Looking at your bikes is giving me more interest in a composite bike.
Have a great day from Canada eh!

Wow, looks really neat, can't wait to get a look.

I read your website and still can't believe you're all self-taught, a fine exponent of the evolutionary design approach

Oh, shucks   

Anyway, it looks better with carefully taken photos - the closer you get, the worse it looks ...

Looking forward to getting it out on the roads a bit more. I still need to get a boot done, though.
