Hmmm...I don't know a lot of MTBs with bladed carbon forks though.

I'm not a material engineer. I would assume that with a bladed fork, the lateral constraints could be too high.

Alf Engers. Alf dominated the sport in the UK in the 1970s. He was the man to beat at 25 miles. In 1978, he set a sub 50 minute time for 25 miles – 49.24, before tri bars and disc wheels.

Post: 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 :)

Looks alot like a Mike burrows bike that was made for Olano's attack on the hour record in the end he didnt try for it think he did some tests and couldnt get the numbers!

of course nevermind that the trimble there is just aero looking and not actually engineered. the top tube for instance is slowing it down.
which is a shame because the rest of it looks really nice!

someone posted this the other day - I forget who but if you missed it here is the first part (of 8 they link continuously on youtube) of a rare channel four (UK) documentary on Obree and Boardman. It's one of the best hours I've spent recently - check out the state of Obree's frame in the early backyard training scenes.

We've got a couple of the old superbikes here in the offce. The super narrow BB on these meant that the top tube would certianly interfere with pedalling among other reasons. I'm betting BB stiffness was another consideration.

Some pics of the Bursford bike:
and with a bigger chainring :)
There are a few others of this bike in the album:

Some other interesting ones too - particularly the Shiv.

especially when they come with a retro website link too...

Had a quick look - looks brilliant.
I'll most likely watch it after swim training; I could be staying up pretty late tonight!

From the movie Brokeback Timetrial?
Re: Retro TT stuff [jeremyb]

Anyone ever have one of these? Neither of these pics are mine but I had one just like it with a pair of Scott clipons. I'll try and dig up an old picture of my set-up (pre-digital days).
I believe it was a re-branded Nishiki. I bought one in 1986 when I was in H.S. and just getting into triathlon. The front 24" wheel was a little difficult to get tubulars for as there wasn't much of a selection. I sold it when I was in college and wish I still had it.

This link turned up on the NorCal District email distribution list - the 1964 San Gregorio Time Trial. I wonder what these guys would think about time trialing these days - real racers don't need no stinkin' pointy helmets . Some of them could certainly be still racing but I don't recognize any of the names.

My first triathlon was the 1988 Bud Light USTS series event in Miami. I scanned a couple of pictures from that event. The first is Mike Pigg coming to the end of bike with the Scott DH bars and his Pigg Power Disc wheel:

Fun to see at least a couple of UNI disc covers. I remember rockin a bright green UNI cover with Profile Aero 1s with bright green taps on my bright green Norco Victory Tri-A. That was the eighties in a nutshell.
