Not at IMLP...I. IMLP was his first IM triathlon ever...and the first time he ran more than 16 miles (and he won). He did HAVE a Mongoose branded bike but his contract with Mongoose was for MTN, not road or Tri - thus some of the race week drama that he had in deciding what bike to ride. He then was on a P3 (official, not the Cervelo branded yellow), then later on a P3C for the most current. I can not speak to what bike he was on before IMLP 2001 at Vineman and Wildflower. I do not think that he was at IMLP any year but 2001 racing.

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....


lol... Re-read my post I was only saying what YEAR (2001) he rode the Cervelo at LP. AND he DID ride a Lotus at Kona in 2001.[/img]

Can't find the 2001 results for Vineman, but the 2001 Wildflower he was bib 35 not bib 12 like in the photo. I'm going to guess the caption is correct.

So this means he was on a P3, Lotus and that "Mongoose" TT bike in a span of 4 months.

If I had to guess - that was a "Mongoose" built by ABG with a Wound Up fork on it...the seat stays are not OE Litespeed stays, but could be something from the Merlin line or just a one off for Steve - maybe Herbert would know more.

Boardman- 1996 Olympic Road T/T

He had the Mavic-Zap wire harness running internally through the frame. It crapped out right before his start.. we had to tear the unit off and quickly tape a new wire harness to the outside of his frame with electrical tape... epic stress!!!

(note: his trademark base-bar running off the fork crown)

awwww, the Scott Drop-Ins. We all had to race with these... it was always fun to bang your knees on them when out of the saddle ;)

Yeah, and they were the flexiest bars ever, creaked like mad because of the sleeve at the stem, and also the surface where it was clamped was totally smooth (great on old school stems)- sometimes had to shim them or put sandpaper between the bar and stem. good times-

A few cycle couriers rode some of those GT TT bikes around for a while, but I haven't seen them on the streets in a while. Very nice looking given the age of them.

How can we have a retro thread and not include the Dave Scott Centurion Bike:



And the Scott Tinley Raleigh Technium Bike:




When I first started triathlons back in the 1980's I was looking at both of these bikes but they were priced out of my range, about $600 if I remember correctly.

It's a Hotta Perimeter, or P-700. They made them for the Linda McCartney road team too (alongside the TT-700), and (from what I understand) made in blue, red or LM colours. They came with replaceable and spaced dropouts so you could run them fixed or geared, internal cable routing throughout. The picture of Boardman in 1996 above is on a Perimeter painted to look like a LOOK.

On the track, the GB squad used Hotta bikes for many of their events in the early 2000s and around that time, eg. Jason Queally used one to win Olympic Gold in Sydney for the Kilo, and the GB team pursuiters at Sydney were all on them too:





I wouldn't call them Perimeters though, as they aren't the same as the road versions: there's much more material around the seat tube and in other areas too. There's one hanging up in the reception area at the UK Sport offices in London. Hotta also briefly made a road bike version of the Perimeter, but they're super rare and I'm not even sure if there are any intact ones left!

They're brilliant bikes, took me 14 months to find that one ;)

So some weird brake lever mounted at the end of the aerobars? Hard to tell what kind. Funky.

    I don't think so, that just looks more like a Terry, designed for short riders, with small front to prevent excessive toe-overlap.
