Velo Orange Neutrino – New Bike Day
Go small, go simple, go now. Wise words spoken by a sailor of the old days. Still, it applies to everything we do in this life. All told we have been living in tiny Airbnb’s almost exclusively for 4 years. We did have an 8 month stint in a hotel to be close to the boat but it was just too simple for us.
A centimeter here, a few degrees there… this bike is fitting better and better every day. Zero would be the number of complaints I have at this point. I should have a Frame bag made but I just can’t commit to it. Bar bags, saddle bags, feed bags, who knows. I always dive in on day one but with this little Kermie bike I just keep slowing down. The frogs awaking is always the first signal of spring. On my first ride with the new Neutrino they sang their song all along my first creekside ramble. Maybe nature has named her for me.
Here are the Velo Orange Neutrino build specs:
- Crankset: Microshift Sword Black, 42T

- Brake Rotors: Promax 160mm
- Brake Levers: Origin 8 Midi-Trigger
- Seatpost: VO 31.6, Medium Setback
- Saddle: San Marco Selle Sportive
- Grips: VO Foam, Black
- Pedals: Blue Lug Bear Trap Pedal by MKS
I ride every day now, but first I walk. There is something about walking my dog that is so good for the soul. She sniffs and explores every inch of the village like it was her first time. I feel the same way on my bike. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve ridden down this trail or that. It’s always new and fun to me. Yesterday I saw a Mink. One day I found a snake in a tree, a whole new level of fear was born with that one. Birds of prey are everywhere. If you look often enough you will see whales splashing around and playing just as hard as I do.
I’ve had my little Neutrino for 6 days now. I made 2 videos about her. Each piece has been unfastened, greased and retorqued to proper spec. None of this needed to be done but that’s how I get to know the workings of each new bike. Unlike the Brompton all parts of the Neutrino are standard making this a super easy bike to work on. Now I need to build an apocalypse kit just in case.

Took some placeholder parts (rear wheel, seatpost, handlebar) to even get it into this state, but the vision is coming together for my current Velo Orange Polyvalent Lowkicker project.
Will be getting a Grin All Hub V3 hub motor kit soon.

Nice travel report from Velo Orange travelling to their Taiwanese manufacturers. I really love how they make the fenders. We should have such a machine in Berlin...

It's actually just an experiment because Hermes screwed up my order for another drop bar, but it feels so agile and fast with upright bars, maybe I'll leave it like this for some time...

If I lived anywhere near Raleigh North Carolina, I would definitely get this electrified #VeloOrange Neutrino.

No higher praise than when the mechanic says your bike is very nice 😍
New #VeloOrange fenders because I'm a sucker for nice bike stuff.

@cbollert ok, Danke, das war klar. Ich stehe auf die #veloorange. #honjo könnte ähnlich von der Abdeckung sein.
Ich meine Hersé hat keine eigenen Bleche - muss aber mal schauen.
Für einen neuen Aufbau will ich vielleicht mal etwas anderes testen als die veloorange. -
New VO stem to go with the Klunker bars and compensate for the change in effective reach when I added all that rise. #BikeTooter #Bikes #VeloOrange
