La bicyclette bleue

Le Kouign Amann Laurent Dechenne (KALD)de Geoffroy est maintenant monté avec le nouveau groupe Shimano électrique. Le gros avantage est de ne plus avoir les leviers de vitesse qui touchent les cuisses lorsque l'on monte les vitesses. Il reste encore quelques réglage mais ça marche déjà très bien. Nous avons également profité pour 'reconstruire' le bas de la pointe M5 qui avait été découpée pour mettre sur un VK2.
The Kouign Amann Lurent Dechenne (KALD) is now fitted with the new shimano electric gears. The levers are not touching the legs anymore when we change gears. A fine tuning is required but it already works very well. We also used the oportunity to 'rebuild' the lower part of the tail fairing that was trimed to fit a VK2.




Le Rapide N°14 destiné à notre revendeur de Lyon www.cyclociel.com est proche de sa livraison dans une livrée bleue. Le cadre rouge est le N°2 redécoré et il sera monté en 406 x 650.

Oh, sure... that's what the Kouign Amann LD needed... More desirability.

Thanks for that. I was only just holding off dreaming about it every night. Now I'll spend my days doing the same.

I thought I'd be immune to the charms of the new Di2 Shimano stuff. After all, with 5ft of chain between ring and sprocket, I hardly need its nanometre adjustments to avoid rub.

But on a FWD... Yes. That makes sense.

Damn. I want one. :D
