Dude, Neon lycra and splatter paint jobs were the bomb! Nothing like rocking the neon lycra speedo. I still have an old Tinley one in a drawer somewhere, but I am afraid to try it on, the material would probably tear just trying (and yes I still weigh the same as when I last raced it).

Well then i was having that problem last week at our local TT,i used a vintage TT bike i had only ridden once and that was last Feb,i was back and forth so much i almost got a rash,Now i have a local friend who thinks the pro's do this to use different muscles and rest the legs. If i can get my scanner working i will try to post some pics,i have a lot of TT bike photo's,most pre 2000

nah I don't think the kind of typewritering we saw on the giro winner for instance was on purpose. just hard to prevent within UCI rules and huge power

A little grainy, but this what the originals looked like. This was the "small." They had a medium (4 inch top piece) and a large (6 inch top piece). Black is the original, and blue the later years. They also used a boot to cover the gap between the frame and the seatpost top. I picked up extras because I had one of these give out when a weld broke. I also had the seat slip out of one during a race. The post is very skinny, but there are old BMX seatposts that will work in a pinch.

I have that piece, and i needed to go higher so i made more of the aerotubing and build a different post head, All of the tubing from those bikes(at least the GT superbikes) was sent to recycling when GT went under. I have seen a "boot' used in a few photo's what did you use?

Really i have been to Boulder two times and missed seeing that shop,I have looked everywhere for photos of these bikes.

Decker bar!! Very cool!
I rode one for a while but it failed at the weld that holds the stem clamp to the bar. Was pounding along in a tail wind (the Buda six for all you Central Texas guys) and my training partner needed to take a break. When we sat up the bar was flopping visibly and only had about a millimeter of weld leg left. The crack in the weld started at the front and propagated back so that as long as I had weight on it I couldn't tell. Another couple of minutes and I would have had a nasty face plant.
Anyway, if someone does want to reproduce this design, please spend some time on stress analysis.
Cheers,
Jim

You need one of the medium or large seatposts? I had 2 of the original boots GT supplied, along with various size seatposts, although I sold most of them. (I used to work at a bike shop that bought all the leftover stuff from GT after production runs. We got two shipments a year- tons of crap thrown into extra bike boxes. I got my grubby little hands on everything relating to the Vengeance bikes.) If I was using the 2 inch seatpost up real high, I would use some plastic sheet, like the front of a spiral notebook, to fill in the space. If I was using a seatpost that did not have the aero shaped top, I would probably form something out of styrofoam and then cover it.

I bet it would fit a Salsa stem like this which is nice and round.

aerolite pedals were popular - 33grams, aerospace grade titanium 6A- , really strong, great clearance, 360 degree entry, easy to get out, nice bearings etc etc

The chainrings are moved faster and slower depending on the position of the crank arm.
The Powercam crank has a cam around the bottom bracket. Some rollers run against the cam.
patented in 1977 by Larry Brown , used by Lon Haldeman to win the Race Across America, typically drop cadence to a pulsing 60 rpm, the big ring is a 60
does anyone know if they are related to ROtor Rings ?
