That's a beautiful Zipp. I've never considered myself a fan of the stealth look, but the more I see photos like that and my own Zipp the more I warm up to it. The carbon on carbon is a classic look.

If anyone is interested in building up some vintage( if that's what you can call them) Cervelo TT and tri bikes - original 650c Cervelo P2's in particular. Contact Enduro Sport in Toronto and ask for Matt at the Outlet store. He can build up a frame with just about any gruppo and wheels you want. This is the bike that really started to put Cervelo on the map and at the time was way ahead of anything else like it on the market. Interestingly, the current (P2 in carbon) does not look that much different, which I think speaks to how far ahead of the time Cervelo was.

See picture of Eric Wholberg riding an orginal P2 here:

Own and race a piece of recent Canadian bike history!!

Chip - for you they could even build this up with some vintage Campy if you liked!

How do those brakes work? I must be looking at it wrong because it looks like squeezing the brake handle (obviously thereby shortening the brake cable) will close the gap at the top, and open the calipers at the bottom... thereby NOT braking the bike.

What am I missing?

It is really a V brake. There is no center pivot.

Ok, thanks, I'll take your word for it.

It just looks to me like the pivot point is in the middle of the brake arm, not at the bottom like a normal v-brake.

The two pivots are the cateliver boss' that are brazed to the fork. Both pads swing in an arc down motion (as compared to one up one down in a dual pivot). The arms just cross in the center.

Woah...look at the fork on that thing!


Speaking of Wynn forks (and other things Wynn) - here is Jim Martin's old TT bike:



EDIT: Also note the retro Specialized AeroForce helmet. :-)

I bought a Softride from Endurosport last summer. Old school 650 wheels on a large frame. They were very easy to work with. One of those old Cervelos would be pretty cool to have.

Heh...remember the Specialized Sub 6? "The Helmet of Death!"

This of course was after the Bell V1 and the ground breaking Mirage helmet where we could get our ProTec spandex helmet cover to match our Uni disk and our Speedo...

Actually the other way around. bp Stealth was originally a Mongoose. It was also sold as an EPX for a bit. I am pretty sure "bp" bought the rights to be the sole retailer of that frame now.
