I would not be so sure that Lon was on those cranks for RAAM.....nor Pete for that matter...I may be wrong but I doubt it. Next time I see him and Sharron I will ask (probably wont be till Spring or so).

Damn I wish I still had my Mavic Mektronic (Zap). I sold it to some guy in Denver a LONG time ago.

Wasnt Mektronic the 2nd generation and Zap the first generation? If my memory serves me correctly Zap was wired and Mektronic was wireless? Regardless the reliability of both groups left a lot to be desired. I remember the "Croc" Brad Bevan getting stuck in the 11 at a race when his Mavic electronic shifting took a poop.

How about John Cobbs (I think) Speed Wing skinsuit? Remember that? It had batman wings under the arms.
Still want to see Hamiltons and Joel Thomsons 24" Holland. It had a crazy custom aero bar/stem combo that came up high off the super short front end.


Yea,
I have one in my basement; size M. I almost forgot about that.

I have one of these that I will use once a year for a century ride. The lead group tries to go under 4 hours, so we do not stop at aid stations. My two rear bottles lasted until the first set of train tracks last year- damn Camelback bottles!

I´ve been trying to find out about the Peugeot Cannonbal track bike. Looking at the photos and the rider´s position, it must be from ´94 to ´98 (period of the Superman riding position). Definitely not in the main Peugeot catalogues.
My initial thought was it was from the French olympic team in 1996, but rousseau rode a Look that year....
The guy who owns it is Pommes King on Flickr. Maybe you can contact him if you have a Flickr account? I don´t...

I think Larsen was using the Mongoose version if I am not mistaken.

Yeah I think you're right. I was going to school at UC Davis at the time and remember seeing it sitting on the floor of his shop for sale and it was orange--mongoose colors.

I dont think so. Steve was on GT (MTN) and road - he then days before he won IMLP got a green Cervelo that he rode for the first time race week. He went on the Cervelo and crushed the bike course record and the win. That was 2000 or 2001ish.

I have that fork and those wheels on my bike now. The bike is a felt s22, I don't believe that's the stock fork as it has a carbon steering tube.

I was wrong - it was Mongoose not GT (I knew it was an MTN brand, not a road/tri brand).

LP in 2001. He rode a "Nytro" branded Lotus that same year in Kona.

This is the best thread yet. I need to get my Zipp, Tri Star and Softride lined up for a pic.

Let there be NO QUESTION that in 2001 at IronMan Lake Placid Steve Larsen rode a yellow Cervelo P3 that Gerard gave to him the week of the race. I was right, you were wrong - nanny nanny boo boo....
