Low racer II

After completing the first lowracer (white and REd- I am not talking about wine here!), it was obvious that a few modification were required before going into production.
A second prototype has been built with a slightly different lay-up of carbon fibre. The weight went up by 300g and the bike has a totaly different behaviour on the road.
The second frame has been built with STIFFNESS in mind and I must admit that we did not miss our target but riding confort is reduced.
As our supplier can only supply 451 carbon fork, we redesigned the frame to accomodate a larger wheel. For racing, we still wanted to use a 406 front wheel so we decided to use an adjustable fork angle to find the perfect angle that would suit the two wheel size.
After a couple of test, it appears to be very sensible but a few cables were missing on my handle so I can't make any final conclusion just yet.

I know for sure that the frame is stiff in bending and torsion, light, stable in the curves and the position is somewhere between a Baron and a VK2 when we use the 451 front wheel. It should be closer to the Baron with the 406 front wheel.
