Race Rig
Finally I've got around to taking some photos of the "gig" or "rig" we use for racing.
 |
Weighing it at 24lbs, it's made from 753 Reynolds Steel Tubing, aluminium wheels and brushbow and a carbon fibre handle bar (it was given to me!). It has a very low centre of gravity, and stability is helped by the slightly angled rear wheels. |
 |
You can also just make out a steering damper on the front wheel, which helps alot with keeping the steering stable. On the steering column I have a flex stem on the steering which takes the snap out of the vibration and saves my wrists! |

Total cost would of been about £1000 ($1500), six years ago.
