[QUOTE="Black Flash, post: 28971, member: 433"] I loved to watch this series in German television, while some of the humor gets lost because its dubbed. Something that never stops to amaze me is how they built these very very expensive to buy bikes. I am drilling holes all over the bike, using aircraft alloy, 10 mm thin walled tube for mudguard stays, even turning heads down or tapering the heads of allen screws to reduce the weight of the bike wherever possible... you got the picture, have you ? ( some say a diet would be much less work and more efficient) those guys drill through freshly chromed or painted parts to help assembly, fabricate mudguard stays from solid 1/2" steel rods etc... those bikes must weigh tons. But then maybe that is the american dream ?? Bernd [/QUOTE]
