New Trainingbike
After the record this Summer I trained with my Roadracer to readapt myself on a normal bike. The office where I work planned to climb up a nice pass, the Grosse Scheidegg. All did it with E-Bikes and changed their batteries on the half way. I did it with my BMC and was as fast as they were.
After this nice trip I only rode bikes for fun. I enjoyed mountain biking in the emmental - we had a splendid autumn - and I could imagine to replace recumbents with single trails!
But, don't worry, I'll not stop, not having a rocket like Eiviestretto in the garage! So with Stefan I built a new Carbon-Trainingbike for the next season.

Ristretto - new pilots
What can we do with two streamliners in the garage? Do you ever ride the older one again? Is it useful to have such a pretty and fast bike like the Ristretto under blankets? - NO !!
It was not easy for me but I decided to sell my lovely bike to somebody who will show this bike on events and race it hopefully with success for as long as possible.
The new owners are Oliver and Jukka from Finland. Oliver will use the bike for sprints and Jukka for long distances.
Both are smaller than me, so I adapted the frame for them. We tested the bike with the new setup and I have the impression, ristretto works better with smaller riders. The weight distribution looks better, so Ristretto should be more stable than when I rode it.
I'll support the new riders with my knowledge to make the bike faster than in the past. I learned a lot in the cooperation with Damjan Zabovnik, building the Eiviestretto this year.
Go go go Oliver and Jukka!
