Short visit to Apeldoorn ... |
November 2nd, 2011 |  |
Moekkôkèn's maiden race | ||
 Photo above: A.v.d.Lee Photo below: W. SchermerDuring one hour record attempts at Omnisport in Apeldoorn, the brand new carbon bike Moekkôkèn (Dutch dialect for "Want to have one too") was first ridden by builder and rider Bram Moens from M5. Conclusion: The bike is incredibly efficient (read: "fast"), but the propulsion was not working at maximum power output... In itself that's not surprising given the short run-up period. Barely five weeks ago Bram decided to establish a dual purpose: a) The fastest possible bike, based on a two-year old drawing. b) Start training for the first time in five years. Concerning part b: let's plan a second chance during spring 2012. Gives a bit more time for a more extensive training programme.After all Bram is only 55...

Arthur van der Lee allready reached Norways Northcape |
July 11th, 2011 | |
And again an astonishing 30 degrees Celsius | ||
) After a last allnighter of about 360 K I find myself safely back at a nice hostel. My intention was to split the last stage of this journey in two but along the way people told me that the weather was going to turn. It has been quite warm here in this northern most part of europe for quite some time now. I reached the Northcape on sunday morning about 9:30 still under a clear blue sky. Shortly after I left I could already feel the cold en not much later it started raining. And it has not been stopped since....
I thank you all for your e-mails and tomorrow I hope to update the website with more pictures of reindeer and midnight sun.

Quality control of titanium monoforks from Titanium Shock Proof |
May 10th, 2011 | |
| Shock Proof titanium monoforks have been used in bikes between 2001 and 2007. With one titanium monofork play has been revealed between the steerer tube and the fork crown. Since this current owner is not the first owner history and mileage of this fork is unknown. On the longer term this play can lead to fatigue of the steerer tube. M5 asks users of these titanium monoforks to send their fork for a quality check to M5 Recumbents (from May the 18th) If, after research, there is a need for replacement, another fork will be returned to the current owner. | ||
