The frame took some time, but it was worth it.
And here it is! We're pretty excited about it.
It only weighs 19.6 pounds on the scale, and
just feels light when you pick it up.
We're thinking of going for the "brushed
aluminum" look, which should really make
it stand out (in a good way).
We also hope to have several
components mounted to it soon.
Above is our new rear hub. It's left-hand drive (which
is very rare in bike wheels) in order to line up with the
engine output shaft. It was recommended to us by a
team last year at Supermileage in Michigan.
We're also currently working on adding an electric starter
to the engine. It will allow us to employ a driving strategy
that we believe will give us the best possible fuel economy.
