150 euro. Hopefully as it is in the picture. And hopefully this package will make it. So far 2 out
of 3 packages sent from Holland to me have vanished. 🙁

Mikael,

Are you feeling the need for suspension, and did you choose red or black?

you know Tom, I have to admit it, you are a very helpful Gent on this list. I guess that off sets
your off beat "Rans type" humor :-)...I know RANS.

Mikael going for a USS bike?!? * .... or maybe you have devious plans to convert it to OSS? ;-)

* I am a USS fan, but I couldn't convince Mikael to just have a go on my Bjaellby USS SWB when I
tried his Evita.

Nope. I had a fully suspended bike at some point but I don't miss it. Theres enough passive
suspension in the VK anyway. Red I think. I have a lot of parts lying about that I'd like to use
including my carbon seat from the VK1. And maybe I'll have a go at wheelbuilding while at it.

Plus I want to try an USS bike and at 150 euro for a new frame it should be possible to
resell it later.

I tried a Bjällby at the 2002 Danish Championships and the handlebars were too narrow for my fat
butt so I didn't repeat the experiment. Here I can make them wider.

Are you still bumming around on a bike or back in Jylland? Last chance to try a VK1 if you
didn't already.

They cost around 1500 fully assembled from M5.

This is a fair comment - the Bjaellby handlebars are indeed very narrow - the StreetMachine ones
are much wider and the bike is also far more stable than the Bjaellby ever was - especially at
low speeds.

I live in the UK now - currently in Norfolk (nice and flat for burning up the miles on a 'bent), but
moving to Cambridge soon.

In September I went cycling in Maine and Nova Scotia for 3 weeks - great trip. And in late December
I'm off to New Zealand for 4 weeks of bumming around! :-)

I tried it already and it was pretty cool, so why are you selling it? Not as practical as hoped or
have you just got that new recumbent twitch? Either way I doubt you'll be able to keep the
streetlegal weight particularly low, but it's a classic design and doubtless very comfortable on
long rides.

Well, I'm just trading the frame in for a VK2-frame and saving 730 g. Otherwise I'm quite happy with
it. It fits me like a glove and with my Radical trailer its well suited for touring too. Rode it to
Aalborg for championships.

Not really to concerned with weight on the SL. I just got a heap of components I'd like to get rid
off. Hubs, brakes, a BB and the seat from the VK1. This was a nice and cheap way of doing it while
also trying out USS. I will probably sell it again at some point.
