[QUOTE="hadronuk, post: 100956, member: 1866"] A few notes about testing. Peter Holmes did two-up and solo testing of the first (full length) prototype and with different rate springs. AVO then revised it and converted it into the low seat height version. Many thanks to Peter for his patience through several iterations and for his valuable feedback on two up use. A second prototype was produced for an additional check on fit and also to test the low seat version with the lightest spring. This testing was done by Randolph Sarah. Many thanks to Randolph for his enthusiasm and feedback. He has provided this very nice photo: [ATTACH=full]24624[/ATTACH] I think it looks better with the lower seat height? Couple of other things. AVO have agreed to give the Coventry section a factory tour. AVO are in Brackmills, Northampton, and the tour is likely to be on a Wednesday afternoon early next year. If anyone wants to join us, please PM me and I will try to get back to you when a date is fixed. The visit will also be listed on the Covoc 2019 calendar when published, but please PM me anyway so I have an idea of numbers. AVO advertise on alternate months in MPH, so their address and phone number can be found there. [/QUOTE]
