So that's where the money wentThere is a black hole in your workspace.

I'm very happy to hear that as I thought it was starting to look like a flight line fire truckWow. That's gonna be more stealthy than a B2 bomber!

You are more than welcome to come to beautiful Murrieta and drink Mexican beer on the porch, help me chase the wandering pack of coyotes away, and you can have a go on the entire fleetI want to have a go on it![]()

I hope so, it's the details that eat up the time. But if the details are right it should perform well.it seems the b2 bomber worked well lately, so shall this
I'm not the lightest thing around at 78 kg at 176 cm so I'm more of a bunker bender. I agree though I need to knock a few kg off of thatJust so long as the rider is not the weight of the Bunker Buster…….![]()

So when is the first TT, Mike?
Do make sure you put a bunch of miles in on the bike before going for it. These TT bikes handle VERY differently to regular road bikes. Definitely make sure you do a windy ride and its a good idea to get a front wheel that hasn't got such a deep rim as a reserve.

Getting to know the bike should be a lot of fun, I will take it easy until we know each other but that is still a few weeks off as parts are still arriving.
I should have the brakes done sometime tomorrow as I have received Swissstop Black Prince carbon pads, the longer titanium bolts to get full engagement in all the available threads in the brake bosses, and a Goldie Lookin Chain from KMC.
The plan for tomorrow is to run the bolts through the lathe to trim to the correct length and cut the hex on one down to 3mm, piece of cake.
Reassemble the brakes with a precision lube with the new pads and bolts and do the final adjustment. If there's time left I will fit and cut the chain.
There is a lot left to do.
Thank You Everyone For Taking Time To Respond.
I Wish You All A Wonderful Day: Mike
