Stem Integrated Into Fork....
Idk if its just me, but i effing love the way the Integrated stem and fork look on older track and TT bikes. Kinda wanted to start like a Pursuit Frame/integrated stem fork picture thread. So post 'em if you got 'em!!
P.S.
Does anyone still make these type of forks or should i just scour the net looking for an old frame that already has it?

Im pretty sure you'd have to get them specially made, unless you were lucky and found them on said sites. Some one on LFGSS had someone fabricate the bars to the original spec, they turned out pretty nice.

^ This bike is on the bike porn thread! (i think)
Why are those integrated stem/fork setups race illegal? Is it an unfair aerodynamic advantage or is it unsafe?
I dont follow trac racing enough to know....or maybe i just am plainignorant lol. Why is it illegal???

Like the "I-have-no-clue-what-it's-called" or the Obree signature style:
And it was banned because it was Obree and his Old Faithful was making a too much improvement towards to track records. Later, he invented "Superman" style, which a lot of riders would later adapt.
His friend, team mate and often rival, Chris Broadman:
The Superman Position was banned in 95? 96? after numerous riders won world stage events with it and made significant changes to the record books.

I'll just leave this here...
Just found this one-
Does anyone know if there are any custom framebuilders that will replicate designs like this? I've been searching for a Takhion Aero nearly forever, with no avail.
