The wheels, 700c in the rear and 650c in front? And what kind of handlebars are those? It looks like a fun ride!

?80's vintage Fuji time trial bike aka. "funny bike." 700c Cosmic Elite rear wheel with 650c front wheel built on a 105 hub and a Rigida rim. I'm using a 12-21 8 spd Dura-Ace setup (Crankset, shifters, brakes, etc), Cinelli stem and Nitto bars.

I just ride if for fun sometimes when I feel like a change of pace. It's very different from the regular road geometry (read: very low and fast).

Other bikes in the stable:
56cm Habanero Team edition, mixture of 8 & 9 speed Dura-Ace parts, Profile BRC fork (recently cracked), Speedplay pedals. Oh, if you like wide bars, try the Titec Malones; very wide and comfy.

56cm Marinoni built from Columbus SLX with Dura-Ace mixture.

56cm 80s Cannondale Criterium for a beater. Heavy and fast.

56cm IRO Mark V. Building it tomorrow night!!

Misc other stuff....
