Troytec lr question

[jfj]

Hi all,
I have just got my Troytec lr! It took 7 months from when I saw the advertisement to the bike arriving at home (the buyer changed his mind and then I had to wait for a friend to have space in his car ...) Anyway I finally have it!
So, my first question is, is there a weight limit?
The bike is so light I'm worried that it might crack under me!

Thank you

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

Troytec said: max. 120kg (bike, rider, luggage, e.t.c)

Don't worry, the bike is light and highly stable.

Best regards and have a lot of fun with your Troytec,
Frank

How do you know the new owner doesn't weigh more? After all he didn't supply any data with his question.

Of course I don't. But the answer is regardless of his weigth. Troytec said: "Zulässiges Gesamtgewicht: 120kg" and "Überschreiten Sie das zulässige Gesamtgewicht nicht. Ermitteln Sie das zulässige Gesamtgewicht, indem Sie Ihr Fahrrad mit der gesamten Zuladung hochheben, und sich in Ihrer kompletten Radbekleidung zusammen mit Ihrem Fahrrad auf eine geeichte Waage stellen."

Viele Grüße,
Frank

Thank you both, still got covid kilos but not yet 120kg!

You have to weight less than 110 kilos as the bike will weight around 10 kilos.

Please take into account, that weight limits are not only introduced by the frame,
but by tires and wheels as well,
which could have been easily interchanged for tougher or lighter versions later on.

Here are the photos! Took it out for the first ride yesterday- its a bit different from my other super low racers; with this one I'm perhaps seated a bit higher, so I'm less behind the handlebars which is strange at first. I keep scraping my left shin (but not my right) on the handlebar ,and I feel as if my arms are 5cms too short!
But it is a fun fun bike, fast and not too uncomfortable. I will i suppose eventually change the rear wheel to something a bit wider but it's a cool ride.
the question is which of my other bikes has to go?

Mid-life crisis ; strange bikes rather than sports cars !

Hey - the Troytec may be exotic, but it‘s certainly not strange!
