C&V peer pressure! The worst kind. Hopefully he'll send me a good pic or two in the morning.

Here's one for you.

And here are a few of mine. I kept the Fuji, which is actually comfortable to ride. The 24" wheel bikes were more of a challenge.

I always liked this style, early Alf Engers using a fixed gear time trial machine.

I have one road version which was built by the guy that supplied the Australian Olympic team in the 80's. It is quite comfortable to ride but it does have a tendency to want to track straight which is a little strange at first - but you do quickly get used to it.

I remember lots of messengers in Boston riding those entry level TT bikes. They sure looked cool, but many had 26" or 650 front wheels necessitating carrying two spare tubes.... Originally Posted by Bianchigirll

I loved the curved tubes, and the "tilted down" wedge look. They just look agressive and fast just locked up to a parking meter.
