some cool pics from richard's ultimate bike book

Yeah John, just never seen the dark blue fade before, love the radical too have you seen the rear canti hanger and routing :shock:?

The older (original?) grello did have the fade as per the pic.

The radical does look good, interesting it claims to made from crabon fiber rather than fibre glass like other monocoques like trimble. Rear brake routing looks interesting too!

I really want that Phil wood drum set up on the fisher.

The brake route on that radical looks even less well conceived than the throttle linkage on a Triumph Vitesse. And that's not something you'd say everyday...

Twenty years of trying to convince myself that there's legs in the whole Kirk concept still hasn't prevailed either...

good scans by the way.

Got them on my Pennine; Campag Delta's.

Beautiful to look at, work pretty well, but a bitch to set up!

no, they're not. Its a common misconception that they are difficult to set up
