I was skimming through Velospace.org and came across this custom Yamaguchi time trial frame. All steel no carbon. Not even a carbon fork!
Looks really cool.
I am trying to decide between a Cervelo P2C or a Tiemeyer custom but this Yamaguchi definitely looks nice. It will even look good next to my stable of fixed gear bikes.
The background makes this bike look even better then it normally does.
Isn’t the rider mostly carbon though? Awesome bike nonetheless.
Damn, that’s one hot bike! I’ve always loved Yamaguchis…
He’s gonna build my next track bike. 
Whole seatpost looks like it melted and was just welded with the other straight tubes anyway
Weird
I stayed away from carbon bikes until just last spring (my first one). But I’m now a convert …
One day you’ll get it, Rod…
How many years did it take before you saw the light and bought your Mac?
Good point - only about 18 years for the Mac 
But, the carbon bike role is reversed as I HAD (actually still have one) a nice steel bike before (and aluminum (still), Scandium, Ti). I don’t like the apparent fragility of carbon (although I think that may also be a myth), but it is here to stay for sure (and not just with bikes)
What’s with the bent seat post?
But… That looks like a GREAT TT bike. 650s?
Dork Alert
HEY! How can you have steel without carbon???
I guaran-damn-tee that that bike frame is between .02 to 1.7% carbon
=P
Dork Alert
Sadly it’s true, it’s not 100% carbon free. Althought no carbon fiber was used in its construction.
Is this the first p()orn bike photo, taken in a BATHROOM?
Gotta admit, most of the time i ride an early 80’s pinnarello, and its much nicer than any carbon bike to ride! High quality steel takes some beating!
Stell works fine as TT rig.I was supposed to race Ironman Austria last year on my new Orbea ORDU with Zipp 808 wheels and DA, It was stolen 1 week before the event and i had to pull out my Cervelo prodigy frame and assemble it TT-like. in 2days with the equipment i could scrape together and borrow. So I ended up with on this fine steed instead :

The bent seat-post is to give the rider a slacker seat-tube angle. Kind of flies in the face of the ‘steeper is better’ philosophy. It is a sweet bike, pretty old school i.e. slacker angle, no aero-bars, single front chain-ring.
