Pondering what would make the best bike specifically for hooning down tarmac?
I love scaring myself on the alternately fast, tight and twisty drops round here, but what would be the perfect bike?
Reckon a trike would be favourite, but not sure about two wheels, possibly some sort of recumbent?
Going trad, long and low seems to fit the bill.
Not too stiff, a bit of give whilst lent over would be nice, but not so much as to get noodly under braking.
Big double with a close ratio block, as little gear overlap between front rings as poss.
Big slicks on wide rims, surfaces are appalling round here and as much braking grip as possible appeals.
Big hydro discs.
More pies.
Ditch the luggage.
🙂
Just an idle thought.
Anymore ideas?
