i have that same bike for my daily commute.

i have it for my winter beater. discs keep the hubs clean.

Thanks! I've looked up more info on it, Modolo Kronotech. Here's some interesting stuff: http://www.jimlangley.net/ride/modolokronotech.html

So when they say, "never produced", what exactly does it mean? I mean, what is the photo of? I don't think they had PhotoShop in 1986 ;) Apparently it was supposed to have a CVT... I wonder if that was the part that prevented it from ever being built.

All ultra-streamlined upright bikes, such as TT and tri bikes, strike me as pretty darn silly. They're only used because of rules about what can be used in UCI races. If you want amazing aerodynamics, get a faired recumbent. If you want a bike for use in city or hilly terrain, get an ordinary diamond-frame bike, since weight and maneuverability will be much more important than aerodynamics. What do you all think?

Ha, no not my bike...

I just posted it because it was a completely rediculous.

The Crank area reminds me of one of them salad spinner things for some reason :D . http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/6...8734jpgvt1.jpg

They're probably to split air; the way they stream lined that bike.

it'd make a *****in' beater conversion

Shiat, for $20,000, it should at least have sti shifters :)

and a BJ.

i made t shirts of that joint in college.

Those are used to deflect the stars when you get up to warp speed.

IT WASN'T MASS PRODUCED.

IT WAS JUST TO SHOW WHAT BIKES MAY LOOK IN THE FUTURE. DURING THAT TIME TT BIKES JUST DID A BIG JUMP DUE TO FRANCESCO MOSER BIKE WHEN HE BROKE THE HOUR RECORD IN MEXICO.

IT WAS LIKE GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR AND SEEING WHAT MAY BE IN THE FUTURE.

NO , BACK THEN IT WORKED. IT DID GET SILLY WITH 24" FRONT WHEELS, STEMS WELDED TO FORKS BUT THAT WAS THE TIMES 1984-1993.

UCI MAKES THE RULES TRUE.

THEY WEREN'T USED FOR THAT JUST SPECIFIC CYCLING EVENTS. SOME PEOPLE STAYED WITH REGULAR TRACK FRAMES. I DID , BUT TRIED OUT ONE SEASON THE 650 FRONT .

I RODE MY PANASONIC WHICH WAS MY PURSUIT BIKE. REGULAR FRAME BUT SMALLER ALMOST LIKE TODAYS COMPACT FRAMES.

S/F,
CEYA!

I just put this one together for my lady....ground off the braisings and spot touched....got it as a frame, hope she likes it she gets back from a buisness trip tomarrow....

you sure she going to like always riding in the drops?

its got a nice flat in the top.....she likes mine, your right I'll probably be changing that......another example of trying to make it look good over feel good...

she'll love breaking.

...if her fingers are 15'' long

haha yeah, i dont think her fingers will be able to reach those levers. i'd just put the levers in the standard road position and wrap the whole bars

You don't need fingers to brake if you have strong legs. ;)

So.....what if they are....


but, i just drilled and taped for an adj. set screw that holds the lever at a comfortable distance from the grip...but of course its only for emergencies. she teaches kick boxing so..her legs can handle it...

she didn't want a brake but I insisted, at least in the begining.

then put some clips and strap on that joint, dun

I stumbled across this forum so here's my bikes. I see most peeps here are fixed gear street riders. I ride mostly SS off-road. I just started road riding again back in may(since the eighties).

My fixed gear conversion starts with a mid80's Holdsworth light touring frame.
I think it's going to make for a perfect bike for lousy weather.
So, this is what I have so far. I can't say how much I have spent so far,
but I expect less then $400 when all is done. I hope to finish in a week or two.

Monsters Inc., huh?

Specs are here!
