new or old for next season
« on: August 19, 2011, 12:24 PM »
now that O/S racing is finished at Hersden they are thinking of having a 30+ veterans class where old or new school bikes can be ridden, so my question is, do i stick with my o/s ripper that i have raced all this year (including at the regional against n/s) bikes) (far right)
or do i switch to my n/s ripper?

regional against the n/s bikes





n/s ripper put together today

What would be the advantage of usin the n/s one? If they have better tt lengths, and the wheels run smoother etc, then go for that one  :daumenhoch:

If you want to stop and be stable, Go NS.
But please get some T-Cut and polish  VC733 off the brake caliper. :daumenhoch:

the TT length is the same, the angles aint much different and the o/s bike is lighter, think its time to woop some n/s ar*e on an o/s bike  :daumenhoch:
