Velokraft 2

In March 2006, I purchased a Velokraft 2 low racer. Since March, the dialing in of my Velokraft 2 has been an ongoing process. This bike is very fast even for an old guy like me. Low racers take a lot of getting used to. The first issue that I faced was a rather noisy drivetrain. I then ran into some shifting problems and discovered that I had a cracked boom. The boom is being replaced under warranty. I am expecting after I replaced the boom that the shifting will now be normal and I can go about the business of adapting to the bicycle. This bike has lots of potential for long-distance speed and good climbing.

Here's a picture of the boom with a crack running almost the full length of the underside.
