Fast & Light Upright- Post your Photo's & Ideas
I've had this idea in my head since earlier this summer. A light, fast and ever so tasteful Upright, Like Sheldon's Super Superb but dare I say...better! I'm thinking the English, French and Italian's all must have some delightful vintage examples, I'd love to seem 'em. One thing comes to mind though, wind resistance! Would a completely upright position create such resistance that approaching anything beyond noodleing speed prove exhausting? Does an upright riding posture deprive the rider of efficient pedaling? Ideas photos and experiences warmly invited, unless your wearing tweed in the photo and singing the priases of full chaincases and tea pots, which of course can be posted in some thread about a Lake. Or if you want to herald the virtues of the AW hub and rodbrakes, there's a thread for that too. Soooooooo if ya got something light, fast and upright.... post away!
