couldn't agree more mate, i don't like deltas

a slice of Toblerone on the front of a bike just doesn't work aesthetically

So true.

New page? B-)

Interesting rear brake placement! I haven't seen this before. Also, dat handlebar curve...

it's an aero frame for tt, the dt cables for the rd exit via the bb

I reckon this bike is from the same era when Shimano experimented with the aero Dura-Ace AX designs (early 80's)?

Deltas look good on few bikes... But it's true that they look better by their own rather than on a bike.

I'll bite: what make is that frame?

Custom build in Ishiwata 017 by Raymond Peters in Southampton, probably one of the last before the name change to Hargroves

I haz 017: Tester Approved Tick plz.

And how old were you? I thought you were born with a beard...

It's a time trial bike.

Thanks - serious business going on up there.

^I too can't figure out why it's placed there (on a road bike)

Oops,been answered.Thought it was a road bike.

How do you delete your own comments?

I haz 017: Tester Approved Tick plz.

It wasn't an unmitigated success, I swapped to 022 after 2 seasons, so no tick.

And how old were you?

Probably 20 in that pic.

Don't worry, there's no good reason for it on a TT bike either.

For sale: Ishiwata 017 tubed...

The wrap is too matchy-matchy and I'd prefer a silver stem: 9.8/10.0 (and before anyone mentions it, the steerer has yet to be trimmed).

And the adjustable trail is plain stupid, straight to anti just for that.

TBH I wouldn't know one way or the other: dangerous, useless, or...

Wow, I didn't notice that. Why on earth...
