I seem to recall Greg Lemond did quite well at the Tour De France in 1989 on a TT bike with a 26" front/700c rear disc wheel, setting the record for the fastest time trial in Tour history, until last year when Rohan Dennis broke the record. The main reason the setup fell out of favor was because the UCI banned 'funny bikes' and the use of dissimilar wheel sizes, mainly in response to Graeme Obree twice breaking the world hour record on such 'unconventional' equipment.
I wish I still had my 'team issue' Tommasini time trial bike I had in the late 80's.
