A few of the 1984 Olympic bikes were displayed in a bike shop in Seattle within a few months of the Games. Sitting next to the high end bikes that the store sold, I remember that their construction and paint was, at best, utilitarian. After all, they had to last for one or maybe a few rides.
I also recall that the headset set/fork interfaces looked like what is pictured. Clearly, the builders had faced some challenges and did the best they could in the time that they had.
But is that a biopace sticker on the chainwheel? In the 80's, the acceptance of that system by racers was a bit limited.
