Trial and error

In the past week I have taken the bike on a couple of test runs, unfortunately I have had a few teething problems mainly to do with the front steerer but hope to have this sorted out this week.
It is always a hard balance when you are on a tight budget to get the best result. I had bought a top quality front shock at an extremely cheap price knowing I would have to do a few repairs to it. Those repairs have been a little more challenging than I hoped.
I still haven't got the engine working so far just been using it with just pedaling it. I am very happy with the Rohloff hub. It is outstanding to use.

From browsing the Internet I noticed the photo below. It is quote an amazing concept. It is called a Velomobile ! Basically that is a enclosed bicycle which are quite common in some countries and there are many variations of them. I first saw one of these in Switzerland 12 years ago called a Twike, that one was pedal power and also electric power. This one is both pedal powered and electric and it floats and has a propeller on it, quite ingenious
