Hello Jürgen, hello all,
About "kouign amann": For the pastries lovers "kouign amann", is a famous one
made in Brittany, France. Douarnenez and around claim to be the specialists,
"kouign" for cake," amann" for butter. And sugar, "sukr" ? Right, not included
in the name, but no worry, plenty of it too.
For the recumbent biker, "Kouign amann" is the carbon replica, flat out racing
orientated, made in Brittany, by Zockra, headed by Malric Leborgne, of the
steel Belgium version "Speculoos", made by Laurent Dechenne. Both originating
in the Tom Traylor front wheel drive. Speculoos's main feature being the bar
over the shoulder to stiffen the frame.
The carbon version I made, as described <
http://www.freelists.org/post/python/TTLD > is in the same vein. I use it no
hands, as a python. To do so a forward part the lighter the better. Positive
trail gives stability which python lacks. I am perfectly happy with it.
We all expect news from "Viper", happy owner and rider of Kouign Aman 1. He has
a full racing season in mind, no doubt w'll hear of him ! First news are
driving it is as easy as his previous Speculoos.
Any news about the puzzling Dennis Renner's bike ?
Ghislain.
Exclusively in French, some links with pictures and, or, sketches speaking by
themselves about the successful front wheel drive in France or Switzerland on
this French forum :

For those who followed the development of the Speculoos-type FWD-MBB CFK
lowracer "Kouign Amann" with interest: It's almost finished and simply looks
awesome:

The builders have managed to get the BB higher than before. From the pictures
it looks slightly higher than the seat.
It would be interesing to hear some comments from Ghislain Phillet who changed
from Python to a Speculoos-type recumbent last year.
Cheers,
Jürgen.
