Sugino retro time trial crankset. Can be had for only $500, ridiculous.
Although, this looks as aero as my FSA Kronos that came out over 10 yrs later.
Australian Superbike-----looks a lot like a track Lotus with a non aero seatpost. Fork looks identical.
so small--modolo kronos

No, that is one of the '96 bikes. Go way back to the first few issues and you'll see the original. If I recall correctly you will see Dave Grylls or Steve Hegg sitting on the bike.

The original mock up was a beam bike?

The bike in the image you just showed was an early product of project 96. It was an aluminum frame bike welded up by Forrest Yelverton of GT. He's a very cool guy with a masters in metallurgical engineering if I recall correctly. Anyway, if you go way back in the archives of Cycling Science, you will find an article with prototype bikes from (I think) 1986. One of those looks a lot like the '96 bike.
In your comment above are you saying there was a beam bike in that article? If so, please post.
Cheers,
Jim

YES! The one on the lower right is clearly an early version of what ended up being the 96 Olympic bike. Note in the figure caption he says it was not as aero as the other prototype. Interestingly the one in the upper right looks a lot like a Lotus. These prototypes were built by Don Guichard who's day job was building composite structures for satellites. He now works for Cervelo. I believe he was involved in the final 96 bikes as well.

You are awesome my man! I just wish they were my size, I ride a 52cm road bike.

From my picture archives....
Sorry about the spacers...no knowledge of bike fit then.
...just after Lemond's 86'tour...had it for five years, first edition Scott's & Unidisc.
Slingshot in '89...Tim Deboom & Michael Tobin were winning on this...

That Slingshot seems like it would be fast with a wire for a downtube until you see this:
Airfoil can be 10 times wider than the wire and have equal drag.
