If any of you bikefile readers are planning to visit EXPO this summer, and you are there around August 26 to 29, do plan to attend the various events of the IHPVA Speed Championship. My team could use some encouragement! Current vehicle status: Shell - kevlar layup is complete. Final surface finish in progress. Will cut into sections and cutout windows next. After frame is reworked, will work on mounting and stiffening. Frame - Second cut at rider position in progress. Will be strengthening single tube section and getting drive train going soon. Rider - not firm. #1 choice may have a conflict with the Coors Classic.

#1 rider choice is Mike Rounds of Warwick, RI. I understand that on a good day, he can sprint with Nelson Vails (sp?). Since the Coors runs to Aug. 24, and the Worlds starts Aug. 27, I guess I'll be out of luck getting an olympic class rider. I'm considering short local riders now (if the rider has long shin bones, I'll have to put knee clearance bumps in the top of the shell). Chris | |||||

Mikey and I go way, way back. Yes, he is almost a world class sprinter. He rode the 7-Eleven Grand Prix Series last year and bumped heads with Les Heisslech (sp?) among others. He's never beaten any of the top dogs, though. A real neat guy who's very strong. Eddie B. wanted him to continue with the track and thus took him off the road team. However, Mike wants to ride the road more than track, or at least he did when I saw him last. He's always given me crap for my hardshell helmet. When you beat him in a sprint you've accomplished something. cdH | |||||
