Apparently, the bulge kept your feet/crank out of the wind...

Ummm... No, it's not a fairing, it's a "functional storage area".

Kinda P4-on-steroidish.

Is that bulbous front wheel modeled after a Pino Moronni design?

Hey Dan, did USAT or USCF ever get on your case about the carbon fiber "gusset"?

1994 Evgeni Berzin used it in the time trials at the Giro.

You could start with this design and make a few improvements and have a very nice bike. 3 to 1 tubes all around, rear brake hidden, internal run cables, ISP to keep it clean at the seat, aluminum would work but carbon to get better tube shapes and have different lay up in areas.

Zipp's Josh Poertner still speaks highly of the aerodynamics of the Zipp frame, but laments the money-losing aspects of it.

Any information on those cranks? Curious about what the supposed advantages were/are.

Those cranks are for people who don't understand geometry and load paths...

"The torque, specified with regard to the axis of rotation, is equal to the magnitude of the component of the force vector lying in the plane perpendicular to the axis, multiplied by the shortest distance between the axis and the direction of the force component. Regardless of its orientation in space, the force vector F can always be located in a plane parallel to the axis."

in short ... psyches you up and psyches other out ;)

These are the rear brakes, Using Shimano's old aero brakes. Way before Felt put their brakes below the bb.

Regarding the cranks, this is what the owner sent me (an expat residing here in the Philippines but works in KSA)

great looking bikes ... for the PMP crank, is the BB to spindle distance still around 170 mm ?
