Brake rotor next to the chain?

Not my favourite placement.

metrocycle - want to see bikes that are pure function, not tee-and-sneakers style.

That's what the Superduke 1290 is for.

They took everything off that didn't serve a purpose.

My only beef with the KTM is the WP suspension. I know they own WP, but Ohlins is sooooo much nicer. If I ever build another street bike, I want to run the Marzocchi RAC 50mm fork.

Now in a "light" version...

- Compression, extension and spring preload register;
- Aluminum stanchion tubes offering a 30% weight saving versus steel;
- Outer tube with structural carbon fiber parts(-13% weight saving versus outer tube standard);
- Low friction sealed rings;
- Marzocchi patented sealed cartridge
Intended uses: road/road racing

<edit> These are hot, holy hell.

Ahh, old glass on a digital camera with an M42 adapter, nice! Do you frequent the manual focus forum? I used to be fairly active there many years ago. I used to play with ancient glass, too - but on way bigger cameras. This is a 8x10 paper negative taken with 12"/5 Petzval from late 1800s.

Now I just work and ride bikes.

I have huge respect for those guys, it takes a lot of knowledge and practice to produce good results. I only went as far as mixing my own film developer.
