Shaw Speed & Custom XLST3

This thing looks like a bit of fun!













XLST3 is based on a 2011-model XL1200N, with several key mods. The bike sports a custom exhaust system—built in-house—and has also been converted to chain drive. The stock front end has been fettled with titanium nitrided forks, progressive springs and XL883 fork lowers. A braced swingarm and Öhlins shocks keep the back wheel planted, and a Performance Machine brake system is hooked up to Roland Sands Design Black Ops brake rotors. The frame has been tidied up, the engine cases anodized, and the gas tank is from RSD too. The finishing touch is the lustrous paintwork from Image Design Custom.

2011 Pikes Peak Record Breaking Run with Monster Tajima

I don't know what it cost GoPro for this Video?  But whatever they paid it was worth it....

It will make your stomach jump a few times....

Ridley Noah... Ridiculously aero?!?

Less than a month ago I was talking to someone about Ridley.  I believe the quote was "it could be a slow year for Ridley next year, they don't have anything new coming out....".  It looks like to be that Ridley just made one of the fastest aero road frames out there, even more aero and FASTER!

BMW R100 cafe racer

Holy Beautiful BMW!  (to bad this bike is in Germany, I would go find it and steal it!)












Borrowed from Bike Exif (who borrowed it from Cafe Beemers)...

Boardman TT bikes look FAST!

I love the simplicity of this bike (straight lines and hidden brakes)!  Not even sure if you can get one in the the US. 



The frame highlights include:

• Full high modulus monocoque construction
• CFD and wind tunnel developed aerodynamic tubing
• Internal front brake within the fork structure
• Rear brake mounted on the underside behind the BB
• Full internal cable routing
• Full carbon fork with tapered steerer tube
• Reversible seat post to accommodate both TT and triathlon riding positions

The headliner here is the Air/TT 9.8.  The complete build nets you a set of Zipp wheels (1080 front / Sub 9 Disc rear), Sram Red drive train with a FSA Carbon Trimax BB30 crank, a FSA cockpit, and it comes in at 17.5 lbs.  You will have to be ok spending  £6,999.99 for the complete bike, or start with a frameset for  £1,599.99.


Just think of the build that you could put on this frame?
