"The Seat" by Cool Gear. Had a teammate finish a criterium standing up when the saddle top popped off the rails
.
"Funny Bikes" w/ the small front wheel. Most miserable handling machine I ever rode was of that ilk.
"Teledyne Titan" frames. Either ahead of their time or behind in their engineering, could have been either or both.
"Exxon-Graftek" frames. Same as above.
"Avocet Cycle-Computer". Great product, but Always own the source code.
