Post pictures of amazingly cool engineering

As for the gearbox, again, no-one really knew. It probably wasnt all the clever, just they came into the sport with no preconceptions and a presumably large budget, so did what everyone else was thinking about.
I thought it was just a normal derailleur / chainring setup, but inside a sealed unit. This pic was leaked at one point...

BTW great thread, really appreciate good engineering.

I'm sure it's got some system that locks the suspension to avoid 'bob'. Pretty sure the company I used to work for had a hand in designing that unit.
Suspension was Showa, and AFAIK it was a single pivot frame, with the pivot aligned with a chain idler so there was no chain growth/shrink. :geek:
Millau just for the scale of it. I hope to get there sometime next year.
Burj Dubai - Its not pretty but it is amazing, I saw it 18 months ago and it was already massive, now it must be mindblowing.
Edited as I posted too late and spelt it wrong....

Ok, so it's not a picture but this video of machining an engine block is mesmerising.
