There is some single speed hubs that you can run 5 gears on, dishless rear wheel on a 135.

interesting to note that a lightweight pedant like Nico has gone for the DHX coil over the air... :eh:

Nice looking bike.

mob: A DHX Coil with ti spring is only fractionally heavier than the Air isnt it?

Good to see the specific customisations that someone like Nico does to his race rig.

Yep, I was positive when I saw that pic' of Nico's bike that his had been heavily customised - I'd seen earlier photo's of the stock ones & the curved and tapered top tube is the first real give away that his bike isn't stock - but what do you expect really with someone of his calibre...Go Nico! I'm itching to see what results he gets on at the WC rounds his enters into.

Yeah sorry about the photos being from the drive side. That always pisses me off too. I'll get some better ones tomorrow for you. Anything else you want a piccie of just let me know.

The grommies will be running out to the shops, annoying the shit out of the mechanics and asking them why they aren't available for their iron horses if Nico beats Sam! :lol:
