Bike porn

yes, the lever position on the bars is also interesting, presumably this would enable rider to be more over wheel?

It's simple, this bike is not meant to be ridden in the hoods at all. The hoods aren't even fitted :)

Low in the bars for the aero tt position of that day.

The stem shall not be slammed.

I'm a hood rider , ya git me

When were TT extensions first commonly used?

Do think it could do with a black headset. Still lovely, the nicest Peg we've seen in here for a while.

I don't know when lo-pros with bull horns took over from drops like the Colnago above, but I believe the widespread use of "Tri bars" in Time Trialling happened shortly after this:

Define 'commonly'. Also define 'extensions', as clip-ons came after the weird Scott and Profile bars which integrated the forward hand grips onto bullhorns or drops.

I had them on my hack bike in about 89, RAAM competitors and triathlengers were before that. I think some US cyclotourists were spotted with them in Europe before 1985. By about 94, most UK testers had them.

@ewanmac
Early 1980s was the kick off point for bull horns instead of drops, initially on pursuit and kilo bikes and then on road TT bikes. At Moscow (1980), all the team pursuits were on drops, by LA (84), all the top teams were on Lo-Pro

Are bullhorns and lo pro much more aero than a normal bike with drops assuming position is the same?

Not much, but every little helps.
