Would a helmet like that be street safe?
And if so, what kind is it?

^^^It's a babelfish automatic translation from Dutch(?). That's why it's so messed up.
Did Coppi do a standing hour record? If Coppi's record was seated, it's been broken a couple of times already, hasn't it?
Me no understands

what's funny is to look up the definition of "BALK".
1. To stop short and refuse to go on: The horse balked at the jump.
2. To refuse obstinately or abruptly: She balked at the very idea of compromise.
Sports. To make an incomplete or misleading motion.

i saw this on the fgg forum and asked how minimal a frame you could make without the need for a seattube. people posted mountainbike trial bikes (i think) with no seat. how light do you think you could get a custom frame for something like this?

He couldn't use a trials bike if he wants it to be UCI legal. I don't think UCI says anything about not having a saddle, probably because nobody thought of it.
I was thinking that it would be nearly impossible to do since you have to be standing on the peddles the entire time and really putting a ton of weight on the bars in order to get up a good spin, but with that gear it could work out since he won't have to spin so much. He's clearly a beefy guy, so that's probably good.
Oh. And 50 years old? Jesus.

Watching him ride will be like watching a slow motion film with that size gear.

A 68x11 gear at that speed is only a cadence of 53 rpm. There must be some kind of crazy amount of force being put into those pedals. I wonder what weight of leg press would even be comparable - whatever it is I bet I couldn't do 3,180 reps.

those white sidi's are pretty hot... I want me a pair of white sidi, probably be grey after a day of NYC riding though. I also wanna get a frame with that same gearing, except backward! would that be a negative gear ration? I will have no problem on any hills.
