Schreck, George
I think putting numbers on flags like those recumbents use. Just think
of PIR on Tuesday. A sea of flags flapping in the wind down the home
straight.

Subject: [OBRA Chat] WSBA numbers already include frame numbers
How about if we use our WSBA numbers, which already include frame
numbers?

Subject: RE: [OBRA Chat] frame numbers
How about laminated frame numbers on heavy stock (like they use for
licenses and whatnot) with a rectangular hole on the top and left edges,
through which pass velcro straps - one for the head tube and one for the
top tube (or seatpost and seat rails?). A set of 2 issued to a rider,
good for life as long as they keep their membership current. Order them
in bulk and get a huge roll of double-sided 1" velcro strip that's hook
on one side and loop on the other.

I'll use one, make it mandatory, for road racing at least.
Any thing to make it easier on the officials.

We made frame numbers for a couple of years. (many hours in my
basement) They do show up nicely on the video. Most riders
refused to use them.

Subject: Re: [OBRA Chat] ok then how about bike numbers?
In the mean time, have any of you race official types
tried reading
numbers mounted on frames instead of on bodies?
I can't resist replying to this. Up here in Washington,
somebody this
year had the bright idea that we would use frame numbers.
First, you
cannot mount them in the same place on all frames (consider
the compact
frame of a small woman vs. a standard 60 cm frame, for
example). On my
bike, I have to put the frame number on my seat post, which
means it's
obscured during half of my pedal stroke. Second, it is difficult to
attach these, and you don't want them to be permanent
because you don't
always want to race with them on your bike (stage races, for
example,
or if you race in another state). They get blown around in the wind
when you put your bike on your roof rack and are susceptible to
cracking and breaking. I don't recommend this solution!
