Trigger shifters on custom HP Velotechnik StreetMachine full-suspension recumbent bike
Owner-customized HP Velotechnik StreetMachine GTE uses wide-range 11-speed cassette, inverse-mounted trigger-shifters, hydraulic brakes, air shock with lockout switch, and more.
Bobby V has built up his StreetMachine from a framekit.
Check it out:
- Fox air-shock with rider lock-out button on right-side handlebar
- SRAM GX 2x11 drivetrain with massive range 10-42 cassette
- SRAM GX trigger-shifters mounted almost Azub-style
- DT Swiss XR-1501 rear wheel
- nice little upper seat-pack and neckrest-mounted taillight
A cable stop has been mounted on the front derailleur instead of the standard HP Velo noodle method.
That is pretty work, Bobby. Congratulations!
