I am pretty sure that Trimble made the first commercially available behind the seat bottle launcher.

ok well, maybe I spoke too soon. serotta made the huffy bikes for the 7-11 team, so I assumed that they made that one too.

No no, you are correct...but Yamagucci did most of the metal work. After there was a sort of falling out and each went their own way. Koichi started making some really wild stuff and ended up as the frame builder for many "Brand" name bikes that had labels from Huffy to Murray and Schwinn.

The scans of an article here, say that Mike Melton built it at the Huffy "Tech Center".

I was off by one Olympics...maybe. Did you notice that the bikes in the images have Raleigh? When I was at OTC Springs (1990-91) I had the chance to hang out with Koichi and spent some time in his workshop. At that time he had a few of the bikes from the (at that time recent) past there.


Quote:
Koichi began working with the US Cycling Federation as National Team Mechanic in 1988, and, in 1989, he began making prototype frames for the US National Team and became the lone official framebuilder of the United States Olympic Cycling Team.

keep it coming- old tri stuff too!
Here is what I want pictures of:
1. 88 and 92 olympic ttt bikes
2. Kenny Souza bikes- Nishiki Linear, Haral
3. Mark Allen bikes
4. Aerolite bikes
5. Joel Thompsons 24 inch wheel Holland with the multi color paint and custom aero bars
6. Hamilton 24 inch wheel bikes with the Hamilton 3 spoke wheel
7. 1st generation QR superforms- the excel steel ones with splatter paint. Extra points for the Ray Browning prototype one. Triple extra points if John Gailson was riding on it with the "jesus is lord" sign swinging on the toptube at Desert Princess.
8. Any cool/wild looking aerobars- like some of the stuff Tinley would rock
9. Hookers
10. Anything that Kent Bostick rode
11. Aerosports parts

Wasnt Kenny on the Nishiki NFS Alpha (NFS Beta was lower end). Tinley was on Scott DH, 100k and Extreme bars. Kent Bostic was on a Hooker was he not?


Splatter paint...GT baby!

1988 Olympic Bike taken from First Flight website there is a scanned article there for a good read written by Chet Kyle. Check out those handlebars. Makes the Hed Black Dogs less revolutionary.







The lotus came out in 1992.

Looks like Yamaguchi made the TT bike in 1992:



I'd put my money on the 88 bike.

Not sure what this is, but its cool. (edit: Lotus Track frame??) Found it on the web at one point, now its in my TT folder in iPhoto.





My hope is that someone (or some company) will become inspired and grow the balls to make some TT bikes for the rest of us not bound by the UCI. I'll do the marketing. We can chat offline :)

You can see one of these Project '96 bikes at: Rocky Mounts just off of Spruce St. in Boulder, Colorado. They have one in the lobby/window.

One obvious difference between the road and track versions is the fork... ;-)
If you use the track back on the road, make sure you only turn left...

I'll drink to that.

That frame is a Lotus track bike for sure...the original Boardman model not the 110 sport re-mold version with two chainstays (bet you didn't notice there was only one chainstay...) & two forkblades. hotness.

The only bad part of that photo is that the BEAUTIFUL frame, rare fork, unique paintjob, aero crank, proprietary bars......and they mount it wwith a rear-training-wheel + mylar cover. It's blasphemous.
