Quote | Reply
Wanted to start a thread with pictures of old tri bikes that are still rockin' and rollin' down the highway. This is a 2000 Kestrel KM-40 with 650 Tubular Tires on Zipp 404 Wheels. Ole' Bessy still turns heads today.

that's a stunner, and the bike i wanted more than any other for many years.

when i was 18 i scratched together enough money to buy a used KM40, but the old version with a seat-tube. i raced it happily for a few years, then UPS wrecked it in during a move in about 2004. i bought a cervelo soloist that i still race today.

I just found a set of Scott DH bars & mint condition elbow pads in my parts bin.

Can't decide if I want to hang them as art or sell them

What great idea, and what a great bike! Here's my "restomod" Faggin (italian built Columbus lugged steel tubes frame, with 650C wheels), with "modernish" components

I don't have pictures but rode a kestrel talon until recently when it was destroyed by a car.

Some guy locally is selling Guru Chrono. Guru was what Simon Whitfield rode to gold at the first Olympic tri in Sydney, 2000.

Long Chile was a silly place.

Not sure if this counts, but it's 13 years old... Never going to be able to touch the speed of the fast guys and girls that rode them when it was new.

Nice clean setup. I’ve got a 2007 P3 that I’ve wanted to be electronic shifting on.

Rebuilt as a roadie. Too slammed as a for me as a daily driver but interesting project.

I've been racing on this 2000 Cervelo Eyre frame since I bought it new. Original Syntace bars. Dean T, I'm using a Centurion Accordo as a commuter bike. It was my first tri bike. The Dave Scott autograph model was a bit pricey for me at the time.

Still ride this one, although not in races. Managed to get signed by a bunch of good people - Mike Reilly, Sam Warriner, Cam Brown, Hannah Berry, Seb Kienle, Rebecca Clarke, Braden Currie.

My latest project: 1st gen. Scott Waimea (TIG welded steel frame), with a few upgrades (seat/seatpost and drive train)

Not a tri bike but I’m still using this Beauty that I bought in 2008!
The groupset was swapped out for Record 12 Speed last year though.

I love everything about this. Fully external cables, handlebars that look purposefully designed for extra drag, mismatched bottle cages, but gotta have an aero seatpost for those marginal gains

Yeah, but one of the cages is ti. So it must be faster right? Too flexible to actually hold a bottle securely but that’s not the point…
I’m just waiting for the spinergys to fail. From what I’ve read on line they will kill a small mammal, cut my fingers off, catch fire and then explode. Probably.
