My New Volae Century
Friends,
I would like to share my first bent with you. Purchased from Rick at Gold Country Cyclery near Sacramento.
I picked it up last Saturday, four days ago, and I am having a great time. I am really loving riding this machine. Jesse
I have added some accesories that work well for me:
Dual Mirrcycle mirrors
Cateye Strada with cadence
Speedplay Frogs pedals.. what I have used for years
Detours Goodie Too bag for easily reaching snacks
Dual water bottle cages.. I will also use a Unbottle behind the seat on longer rides
Incredibell Bell
Mountain Man rear rack
Norback Frame pack from Hostel Shoppe
Kickstand from Hostel Shoppe

That looks really nice. If I get another life, I think I'll get one.
The chain doesn't rub on that frame pack?

Nice bike! I went up to the Hostel Shoppe on Monday and picked up a 2008 Volae Club. After riding it for 100+ miles I can say it is the nicest, fastest bike I have ever owned.

Here is another version of the video, this one on youtube
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUQ8NQsmVkQ
youtube would not allow the Canned Heat soundtrack, but the video clip runs smoother
the music is one the generic tracks youtube makes available when you upload a video
turn those speakers on
I will post some images of my camera setup later today..I have come up with a very sweet solutiion

That is one very sweet ride. I see you've also got the "T" mount up on the deraileur mast. I use a Volae Tour (vintage 2005) as a commuter and "Around town" bike and I love it. I bought mine used a little over 12 months ago and I've often imagined that I would have gotten the Century had I bought new. I'm toying with the idea of building a lightweight tailbox for it but I'm not certain yet if I will.
Great video too.
Enjoy the bike!!
