I'd really like a lefty on my Van Nic. I guess I need an adaptor of some sort? Which one and how easy is it to fit for a diy imbecile like myself?

There was another company doing another rip off of the same product, available in different colours too I think. Couldn't find them on a quick search though.

I run one on my Cotic Simple. It's dead easy, you just need the steerer adapter as stated above. I use the Project321 but now Cannondale have got round to doing an official one (which seems to be a rip-off of the mine). You can get a tapered adapter too. Carbon lefty's are easier as the clamps move, Ali Lefty's can be a bit more fiddly as the clamps are bonded on.

Bikerumour just did a little article on it.
