I saw a rabbit convertible with a trailer hitch added so he could haul his bike at a charity ride today. Only rabbit I've ever seen with a trailer hitch LOL

I knew @GlennR wouldn't disappoint. Will take a picture with mine when it's not dark and rainy.

Yes, that Trek looks to have the same colour scheme as my PlanetX - gloss black decals on a matte black frame. PlanetX call it 'Dark Knight'.

Crank fire is a waste on a 1776 with dual Kads.
I'm currentky building a 2017 stroker with CB Gen 4 FI and crankfire.
Gary does nice work, he built my Berg 5 tranny.

I'd quite fancy decals that are black or gray in daylight but fluoresce at night. Don't know if anyone does such a scheme.

That would be awesome.... night visibility is a plus. When I ride at night, I have a 1200 lumens headlight and a rather bright rear strobe. I also ride during the day with a 100 lumens front strobe and the read both on.

You can get the film, black in daylight but reflects white when lights hit it, so it's just a case of getting them cut to your chosen font.

That pretty much echoes my setup. 1200 lumen Exposure Strada RS front light and 2 x Cateye Rapid x2 rear lights, one flashing and one steady.

My bug is in the shop, but she's all ready! Going to take Ruby (my bike) down to the VW dealer to pick up Clara (my bug). She's got the bike rack in the back to get Ruby home.

'Crank fire is a waste on a 1776 with dual Kads.' It's only a 'waste' to you! I like to tinker.
Here's my 1776 good for ~100hp but who's counting! I'd bet this 1200 engine for my '57 Bug makes over 36hp! lol I balanced it at 8K rpm but it'll never see that in 'real life'. Runs like a fine watch. It even has a Judson 'magneto' as they were called.
