The pedals appear to be 1st gen Look, which makes Tester an early adopter
Actually second version, I had white PP65 before these PP75.
Weinmann 500s which were extremely light and didn't stop you
I don't know what you've got against cheap Weinmanns, I never had any trouble with 500s or even the long reach 730s.
this is an early 80s tt bike
Technically late, as I took delivery after the close of the 1985 season 🙂
To give an idea of slow progress, on the roof rack is a bike functionally indistinguishable (pedals aside) from mine, and it was built in the late 60s. It's actually the porn in this pic, while mine was in Ishiwata 017 by an undistinguished local builder built up with mostly cheap bits, dad's was a fillet brazed 531 Holdsworth with full Nuovo Record save the Universal 68 calipers. It was always said to be ex-Derek Cottington, but I'm starting to doubt that as all the pictures of Cotters on Holdsworths in that livery show lugged frames. I suspect the original buyer asked for Cotters-style paint and something go lost in the translation when it changed hands.

Yep, Kronos, not the ridiculously spendy calipers which didn't stop you. Instead, cheap Weinmann 500s which were extremely light and didn't stop you. The pedals appear to be 1st gen Look, which makes Tester an early adopter as I think they came out in 84 and this is an early 80s tt bike. Tester would have spotted that PMP were pointless shite even quicker than the rest of us.
