I’ve got a bike! It’s a Santos Travelmaster – relatively unknown here in the UK but they are great touring bikes with nice geometry and a custom build system. If you like bike part bins and precision milling, as I do, you can find their build process video on YouTube somewhere…
I’m really pleased. Of course, it’s important to have a good strong bike with big wheels and the Rohloff hub if you are trying to break a very tough world record. It is also important, for me, to be trying out new things. This is why I will more than likely be trying out the Santos belt drive system. More on this when I’ve actually used it!
