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.
