Quest 696 is looking for a new owner - is that you?
Light en fast velomobil witch works well for most activities like daily commuting, touring and race. Properly fits persons between 175-200cm - at the moment adjusted for 189cm and size 48.

Specs:
Model:
Carbon Quest (nr 696 fra 2013) – 28-29kg when unloaded according to the specifications.
KM: 28.231km
Gear: 2x10 XO SRAM gripshift, SRAM GX rear derailleur (medium arm), Shimano tiagra front deraileur, SRAM force crankset (165mm) withd STAGES powermeter, chainrings 38-65T, casette 11-36T – god setup for most terrain. Most driveparts changes about 2000km ago and chain put in new PTFE tubes.
Wheels: 2 x 20” Axelrims/Sturmeay hub (light'is), 1 x 26” tubeless ready rear wheel – all with Marathon+ on at the moment. I have wheelcovers for all wheels but not mounted at the moment.
Hood: Sinner hood in carbon – a few minor scratches and from normal usage. Neopren-cover also included.
Power/light: Turning Lights, adjustable front light, light inside, brake light and "warning blinking light". 3 x 6v 4,2 Ah battery + charger.
Diverse parts: Ventisit seat+floor+neck. Shimano spd-r pedals. Alu rear svingarm. Tool for removing the rear wheel + original foodpump. 2 side mirrors with cover. New and unused visir from Velomobile.nl. Cover for the whole velomobile. 70mm drum brakes (might need a bit cleaning), Cateye Enduro cykelcomputer. 2 x bottle holders. Simpel but effektive alarm with remote. At the moment it has a few minor decals on the side but easy to remove. It has an engraved danish serialnumber on one of the alu parts. Armrest also included but they are not som pretty because the dog played a bit with them.

Adjustment made:
* Seat moved a bit forward to get the mass center closer to the front wheels
* Made ventilation holes in the carbon seat for better ventilation
* Made the arm on the front derailleur longer to make the change easier

Defect fixed:
Alu part from holding the rear swingarm broke but has been repaired by a prof carbon repair caompany and the alu part has been changed with a new one from Velomobile.nl

Defect:
* Paint on the front has one minor area where the gel-paint has cracked from hitting a buck not moving on the road - but gluede back and is not that visible.
* Schratches on the bottum from hitting rock and so on - only kosmetik - was thinking of using at alu-rail from the local building depo below to not get more (10 euro?)

Located:
Near Christiansfeld in Denmark - 65km from the German border.

Price: 5500euro

More information on request from PM :=)
I'll take up to data pictures to morrow - sorry I'm a bit slow (alway nice to see the machine)

Reason for the brake of the alu-part holding the swing arm was normal tare/metal fatigue because the part wasn't strong enough from the start. Se picture below of the repair - new alu-part installed and carbon-ribbon on the inside cut out and made a new strong one. I think it's made very nice but also cost about 250-300 euro (can't remember the exact price)

I think I'm the second owner - I bought it 2 years ago and I selling because I'm using my other velomobile more and might save some money for a brand new or other type.

I don't have the original receipt for the bike but previous owner told me the I could get it from velomobiel.nl but I never got it done.

The bike is reserved for the 2 januar - I'll give feedback here ASAP if it's sold or not..

Update: the potential buyer today was only interested in looking and trying apperenty... so still available
 
The Ouest is now at home in the south of Osnabrück. I got it today and, despite the rain, came home well.
Thanks for the great conversation and the tips.

tomorrow will do right for me.
since it is my first velomobile, I still have a lot to learn.
 
Gestern habe ich den Quest auf mich eingestellt und mich gefragt, war das richtig?
Heute mal 2Runden um den Block gefahren und ich muss sagen: JA es ist genau das richtige
Reinhard, ich habe dein Tipp befolgt, bin nur 20kmH, die Kettenlänge passt noch nicht.
Ich lass es langsam angehen.

Nun ist es auch Optisch mein Quest.
Das schnellste VM in Bal Laer;)

Frage
Wie kann man am besten Klebstoffrest vom Lack entfernen.?
 
Ich habe die Klebstoffreste mit Politur am besten wegbekommen. Speiseöl geht auch ganz gut.
Am allerbesten ist es jedoch, wenn man die Aufkleber schön erwärmt (normaler Fön reicht völlig aus - der Lack soll ja keinen Schaden nehmen..) und dann laaangsam Abzieht so das der Kleber gleich mitkommt.
Ist auf jeden Fall eine sehr meditative Tätigkeit.
