Nice to see that it has what looks like a K drive. K Drive on a camera bike, what could possibly go wrong? |

Have a look here: http://tilting.org.za/bok/kdrive.html There's also a nice photo of an unknown rider (gNick) riding the fish which used a K-Drive. So reliable was this that the fish now has normal (v. short) cranks! |

I do have a number of slightly distorted K-Drives For those old enough to remember think Viv Stanshall's voiceover in Tubular Bells and imaging the sound of twisting steel and aluminium and chains pinging off. ------------- gNick "I'm afraid it's definite, Mrs Banker - your son has bicycles" |

If anyone's interested, the VeloX MkI plans and mould are for sale. The team prefers it to go to a team from a university or something, but who knows...
