Fixed Time Trial Bikes

Boom

3cm rule?

If the 3cm rule is ignored by everyone, is it still a rule?

Uci regs, Cammish has announced intent to have a go at the 60+ hour record (44.9ish km).

Brake is presumably for road training

That explains all the "PDQ".

What's the frame?

He does frames now too. Road spacing though.

The frame (seat stays at least) looks as original as their bars.

No doubt the frame will get the same rigorous testing that the trispoke did, before being proclaimed as the fastest ever FACT!!!!

Why didn't he pick the track frame out of the catalogue? :-)

Looks like HongFu's track frame.

Oh yeah, does look like it. I'd assumed he'd just respace a disc to fit one of his TT frames

Has anyone dealt directly with Gehardt? or just bought from sonic cycles etc

Bought from Sonic, not dealt direct though.

I've bought from Sonic, not Geb direct.

Ok cheers, i just wondered if you wanted something from their catalog which sonic dont stock if it was a pain to go direct re language barrier.

if you wanted something from their catalog which sonic dont stock

If Sonic don't stock it, they can get it. It takes a long time, but they will order anything Gebhardt can make.

Put this together a couple of weeks ago, combination of eBay, PX clearance sale and stuff I already had, after I found a crack in the seat tube of my lovely geared lo pro on Christmas Day. Going to get Raltech covers for the rear, and maybe an Omega X for good measure. Might even get some paint for the frame too.

Part of me likes the gold colour, but it doesn't look that great up close, it's raw metal pre-primer. Probably going to go for powder, probably white.

I always go for black, goes with everything.

I'm not sure what that is, but it's definitely not a time trial bike.

Isn't the hour record a time trial event?

Isn't the hour record a time trial event?

Yes, and it has to be done on a bike complying with the UCI regulations for track pursuit bikes. Old Faithful was a TT bike, a newly built replica of it is probably a HHSB.

From the article “Obree was an engineer and an athlete, and he did both to a very high level,” English told CyclingTips. “I’ve always wanted to try his position and racing in Oregon, we’re not subjected to UCI rules. So I used this show as an excuse to get this done.” sounds like he intends to use it as a TT bike? Although lack of front brake makes that a little doubtful.
