Weight distribution and aerodyanmics is improved with one pedal. I find I do 1 leg for 20k at a time. Also, without spacers I can easily detach my handlebars for optimal aerodyamics whilst steering with my knees.

:mrgreen:

Clearly , I need to remove both pedals and cut the steerer ! :mrgreen:

I'm guessing your next upgrade will be the seatpost?
Ha...nah mate the next upgrade (unfortunately) is a new frame. This one has a crack and I'm waiting on the warranty frame to come in. Why unfortunately? The new frame is a red one.

Kinda like this one?

Yeeeee, smaller back wheel, no chain or gears or double triangle frame. Take that fixie hipsters.
Yeah I doubt any hipsters are going to be jealous.

It has a brake.

Hipsters do not ride with brakes.
Yea, but given application of the brake kills you, I still think it counts.

Besides, you can point out to the hipsters how their chan stretch and so forth denies them a proper connection to the wheel, and that they're just getting a dampened sense of what's really happening...
Ahh a unicylcle with a training wheel. Back many years ago I used to build unicycles, still have my direct drive 20" and a chain drive 5 foot tall 20". Met up with a guy who built PFings and started to collect the bits and pieces I would need. Cast up a bronze hub for the front wheel but other things got in the way and it never happened. Used to go up the the Adelaide hills (when I lived there) to watch the strathalbyn races. Madness.

Sure I remember seeing sub 5kg bikes on the net but surely they'd be cracking more than 5kg sooner rather that later. :shock:
