Yep I can verify that's a true story.. I checked the location and I remember seeing this bike for sale when they got it in 1990 (can't remember the shops name now). They wanted a lot for it then and even more for it now.. I guess I was wise beyond my years beacuse I told my friend then.. They are crazy they will never sell that bike! HA.. Guess I was right.

And the crank is a record... jeeze they don't even know what they have..

I had a set of record deltas. They would slow you down. I could get them adjusted well enough to lock up the rear wheel if I needed too. The problem with them was really in the setup and adjustment. But yes you could get stopped.

Another "TT saddle" with the back raised up to push off of. This one's a Corima.

Dia Compe Gran Compe brakes-----I think these would work decently well (aero-wise) on the back of most bikes today, due to the way the brake cable would be routed.

Sugino disc kit ... replaces 32/36 spokes with a 256-strand kevlar system in a clear mylar cover. The T-Disc is actually lighter than a set of spokes . the mtb version was called tioga disc (ala. john tomac who also had a limited edition front version). In NZ pros like Matt Brick were winning national tri's and du's on them, early 90s.

I have a set of these (in black), and they fit pretty much nothing. I think I read that they max out at 40mm reach, but I know they did not work for my variety of bikes, except the old P2 classic with Rolf Vectors in 650c...then I put my tri-spokes on for a race, and the rear would not reach. Bottom line is that there is VERY limited reach adj. with these brakes (Dia Comp AGC300), but they are minilalist and light.

Funny stuff you needed a bike welded to your specs to use these ......as a benefit you could enjoy really really weak breaking .....

"Over time disks did develop more flex (which is why Tomes disks were numbered & binned after 20races!)"
"A more compliant/shock dampening wheel is the first argument in their favor. It's worth noting that these wheels were first launched back in the day when full suspension bikes weren't a reality in any workable/lightweight form. So wheel compliance was an interesting concept."

Here is some real "retro" Softride. Anyone want to take a guess on the year? Big bonus if you can guess the race!

The gold on these is not as nice as the one's you posted, but they're still pretty freaking cool.



Have there been any Griffen's?

For some reason, I always liked Griffen bikes. Very expensive if I remember correctly.

old school ZIPP...back when they made frames and tri-spokes. i think pauli kiuru rode one of these as he dominated IM australia from '91-'94.



or how about mike pigg with a J-Disc rear and a 1st generation OCLV 5200 road frame circa '94...

why do you say that ? 'cos money would have been made no object ?



to further stretch the 'retro' thing here ... (assuming its more about retro-spective anyways)....



This is a New Zealand TT design which won the '96 World TT Champs, then the governing body outlawed triangulated top tubes.
Spencer Smith recieved one days before the 1995 world triathlon champs and biked away from the field to win ... from memory it was 650c format

Wow! That's an old pic. Here's what the bike looks like 10,000 miles later:
