Thanks for the tip. It was so nice I made a usb slideshow and am running it on an idle tv as a display.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what that 3 wheeled motorcycle is that race officials have been using?

And, are the Linkwitz's done?

The bike looks like a Yamaha Niken.

The Linkwitz Lab LX521.4 speakers are done and sound amazing, even better than the Orions. The finish is basic black and is a bit streaky in spots. I used satin black spray paint on the upper and lower baffles and clear shellacked the bridge. So, not exactly furniture grade but the sound is what counts.

I rather deal with the tracks than the tifosi’s flare smoke on the Capo Berta.

aero handlebars with internal routing, bikes designed around an internally routed front end (handlebars to stem to frame interior), and disc brakes adds up to no exposed cables even with a mechanical or wired group. several companies are doing this.

looks like they run the cables/wires inside the bars and stem and continue into the frame -- cables/wires jump back out right before they get to their respective destinations.

yup
also seen on Trek, BMC, Giant, Cannondale, Cervelo, maybe more?

Looks cool, but how easy is it to service?
