Wouldn’t matter what the pro was on vs me, they’d still have me watching them head off into the distance.

Hmm, Starts with no longitudinal integrity, lets remove lateral integrity, has anyone got some undamped spring assemblies so we can also remove any in the vertical plane as well. 🙂 This is a good start. 😳 Floppy

Feel sure that appeared in one of the awful AI generated pictures of bikes.

Oooh, dynamic geometry adjustment.

Did Kona ever use the brace for the rear disk mount like that? Has the look of an owner upgrade - especially with the rack/mudguard mount position on the dropout. If it is the latter, that could explain the mismatched decals and colour.

In a change of plans, will popping down tomorrow for the day. Worth bringing Pips Ku with me to wander about with?

Sounds like you did the grand tour, only missed out on Bridgend! I was always Dunton based, though visited Southampton, Warley, Dagenham in the UK, along with Genk, Merkenich, Neihl and various sites in Dearborn/Detroit on trips. I think they found them selves trapped with the upper end...

I was at Dunton main site from 1990-2001, and then 2007-2012. Hiatus was being part of the Visteon schism. Second stint was in powertrain controls, but had a lot of interaction with the transit electrical team in the newer wing of the main building.

Def the oversize Lycra, can’t beat the classy “Nora Batty” look. 😀

One proper retro bike, and one just 11 years younger - quite a lot of progress/change in some ways. If I put the Sub5 up against my most modern thing (a Whyte T130) the changes are a lot more subtle, though still there.

Strong colour choice from the original owner! Kinda like it though.

The state of the grass is, well, i’m lost for words. Used a quick link on the chain as well.

Nah, sounds far too energetic. Might wander over on Sunday.

Colours very much ‘98 Caldera, not mine but repeatedly coming up on eBay: https://ebay.us/m/ehsOQ6

I’d be more worried by the two “competing” JMC stands next to each other. 🙂
