PVC quad

When you read this list on google, there are ads at the side. I think this PVC quad is
amusing/interesting.

I seem to recall an _adult_ ( a relative term on RAGBRAI) doing RAGBRAI on a bike made mostly from
a very large PVC tube.

Extruded PVC is brittle and will fracture with little to no warning, especially in cold temperatures
and/or with high strain rates and dynamic loadings.

I will pass on this one.

Tom,
One advantage of a large diameter PVC frame would be the large amounts of
water one could carry inside the frame,this should interest you. As I
remember you carried many gallons of water on your Wave/Tailwind.

We have a trailer at work with a 1000-gallon water tank on it - now I need to find a hitch adapter
for my bike. 😉

Well, 1,000 gallon 8,000 pound might be a bit much. A 100 gallon 800 pound tank should be doable,
might need a push uphill.

Here in California you'd need to get a special truckers license to haul doubles like that.
"Doubles?" you say? Yeah, if I had a watertank like that, I'd need to tow an equal size John to go
along with it.

Where is the link for this PVC Quad. Are you referring to the Baja?
