Legal where exactly? Events not governed by British Cycling?

to further stretch the 'retro' thing here ... (assuming its more about retro-spective anyways)....



This is a New Zealand TT design which won the '96 World TT Champs, then the governing body outlawed triangulated top tubes.
Spencer Smith recieved one days before the 1995 world triathlon champs and biked away from the field to win ... from memory it was 650c format

It's all about the bike.

Great command of the English language. I've not been to a TT yet where they let you away with one of those things.

Had a Never built Moser frame for Moser I wish I would of bought, Still hoping it shows up again. He only wanted 800 u.s and it was sweet with a 650 front.

English time trials are nearly all run by the CTT, and they have no compulary helmet rules - bare head, fairing or aero helmet, you take your pick.

heh heh, gotta love any URL that combines sex/bikes/shoes... and it's Russian, too! Pretty sure that'll get flagged by IT.

1989, and it looks startlingly similar to the Slice, Plasma and some of the Felts.

I seriously considered one- some guy in Tx had a 57cm(?) w/Mavic Mektronic shifting for about $900 complete.

I didn't think I could get low enough on it for TT. Neat bike though !

Can't get low enough with a Look Ergostem? How low do you get? That sucker could put you just above the front tire

yes, indeed it does. Quite impressive really.

The hinged fork is slimmer than all of them too.
Only thing missing is a aero seatpost. I am searching for a Corima Ellipse aeropost and a newer Ergostem with open front so i can use a aerobasebar like the Syntace Stratos CX, then all should be as good as modernday bikes.

It is a tad heavy though .

Very nice! The one bike that was far ahead of its time ( integrated front end, bb, wheel cutout, etc), and the one bike that I wish I had never sold. I had a silver KG196 and always felt that it was one of the faster bikes I have ridden, albeit a bit heavy...like a big Cadillac Escalade soaking up all the bumps in the road. Nice work modernizing it a bit.

:) that's a good point; if he'd been local I'd have tried it- who knows maybe I'd have bought it?

As it was I really wanted a TT frame in the $1k-ish frame w/a short headtube, got an '03 silver/grey (whatever they call it) P3 frame/fork for $300 and I don't think that can be beat for the $.

I'm still in love w/the Look KG496 but we're not talking retro anymore.

That may be the bike I was looking at actually, same color, located in TX.. same components except DA STI. I hear the Mektronic stuff was pretty unreliable.

Do you really think that could be configured "properly" as a TT bike? Lots of set back there on the seat post and STA looks pretty slack- that said, I ride my P3 in the rear facing position.

Other then little details, LOOK had the front & rear end design elements decently thought out.
