OSU’s Buckeye Current aims to win TT ZERO 2014 podium position

In 2013 the OSU Buckeye Current team made their first trip to compete in the TT ZERO, and took third place overall.  The team’s website currently says they are building a new bike, the RW-2, and are looking to ride their momentum and again take a podium spot.

Mum is the word regarding specifics about the bike, at least on their website.  Their Facebook page has been busy showing some incremental progress towards building it.
