^ nice.

I'm about 8 bikes into this. Road, BMX, Gravel, FSmtb, pub bike, touring bike, shopping/commuting bike, TT. Lot's of overlap. Perhaps antique or fat tire bike.

That's about all I want (for now) :)

I came across this rain jacket while cleaning out my closet. From early 80’s:

^^^^ Bike racing never got better than this. This was the zenith. It's quite obviously been all downhill since then :D

Picked this up today. Seller only lived about 2 blocks away! He's originally from Great Britain and bought this bike new from the factory in Connecticut.

$300.

Fully kept up and in near perfect condition. Super light too!

Anyone know why is the fork turned backward on those motorpacing bikes and the smaller front wheel?

LEAKYSEALS951 11-17-2023 05:06 PM

I always thought it was to get them as close and low into the draft as possible.
It doesn't make much sense in my pic, but with the newer bikers drafting a motorcycle on the salt flats at 190k mph, it makes sense. (to me :) )

greglepore 11-17-2023 05:37 PM

Nah. We used to motorpace on the velo w/ normal track bikes.
On the road, I towed a couple jr nat'l champs around behind my ducati at 30 mph in second.
