smaller we go..

New model is soon ready. But new shoes and new crank spindle is needed(WTF?!) When space is at it's minimum, nothing more than enough is acepted. Cycling shoes are ment to use for pedaling, not for walking or looking pretty in your feet. I'v allways been into minimalistic products in racing equipment and this is no exeption. Problem is that ther's no products available that follow this rule of mine (if we ignore Bont TT aero prototype). Custom made? exactly!

The actual model is now more aero but smaller inside. When you try to squeeze the model smaller, more demanding the inner use becomes, that's why shoes need to be reworked, and BB spindle. It looks allready too small to fit inside, hopefully it's not ;)
After few verifications, model is soon ready to be carved out from styrofoam.

New direction

Today I made a decision, model needs total updating, it must be more narrow up front, lower at middle and back. That means it will be longer and 300cm limit is a challenge, but I think I can make it. The result should be more efficient vehicle what it was previously. That ofcourse means that the current model will be ripped down completely, but I think this change is necessary. I will also trash my current BB and replace it with a narrow one.
Crank arms have a huge impact to the model, and because I dont see any good reason to go with really short arms due to my inseam lenght of 95cm, I will make it at least more narrow, that will have some impact on the nose area in both dimensions, height and widht by curving the shape differently. Trying to find a compromise between knee movement area, crank width and crank arm lenght. But because time is limiting variable, I will stick with the standard arms for now.
