I can't for the life of me understand how a bike without a seatpost can survive hitting a pothole. Imagine the shear force on those seatstays/chainstays. The BB would also swing like a bastard under a load.

Taken from"Things Banned by the UCI"
Bikes like this Miguel Indurain time trial machine looked very different to the traditional bicycle; with subsequent UCI restrictions consigning such models to the history books.

I was thinking you would have to go clockwise on a velodrome otherwise the chainring might hit the boards.

In other words, we respect your vast experience and you knowledge of bicycles. So thank you.

The bike you just posted is frickin AWESOME for real. Is it really from the year 1903?!?!? Or did I read that wrong. Can you please tell us more about this bike and what it is called etc.?

I love the huge chain ring. I love unique chain rings on principle. I love the small front wheel and if this is from 1903 that makes it even cooler! I like how the fork curves inward. The handlebars are nice too. And to top it all off it is a beautiful color. Does this happen to be your bike? Please tell us the story behind this beautiful bike!

P.S. Stupid of me to think 1903...have to laugh at myself. I found this info as an opinion on this bike:

"This is a motorpace bike. It’s designed for use behind a motorized vehicle that breaks the wind. The reversed fork and small front wheel are to allow the rider to get closer to the lead vehicle. Originally bikes like this were used on tracks, with the lead vehicle being a tandem or a triplet. Later, they switched to motorcycles. Look up “Motor-paced racing” on wikipedia — in the “External links” there’s a film of a guy riding a bike quite a bit like this one (and almost dying). The record speed achieved at this point, by the way, is 167 mph (in 1995, on the Bonneville Salt Flats behind a modified dragster).

Looks like about 124 teeth on that chainring to me, by the way. This doesn’t look like an ordinary motopace racing bike to me, by the way (I have one of those), but something custom-made for a record attempt. Does it have any known history?"

Still need an explanation on this bike Johno59 please....thanks.


This guy was 1900. I believe he is an American. Needless to say in 1900 for safety you needed someone to walk in front of your car waving s red flag . I don't think this guy would wheel suck a 5 mph car.

This bike is in a LBS in Cambridge. It was built in 1900 by John Townsend. His family still run the business- albeit using imported frames.It is a track bike but if you look at the rear cog the gearing is probably not more than 100 inches and he used to ride it around Cambridge BITD. Notice the lack of brakes.

The Sound Barrier



This picture of William Yeager was takeni in 1910 at the top of 9 Mile Hill outside Myra, West Virginia.
Mr Yeager was attempting to be the first human to break the sound barrier.
It was later determined that the sonic boom happened 8,5 miles into the descent. Unfortunately the stunned officials were unable to award ' Billy the Boom' the super sonic prize as he was never seen again,
It was later determined Mr Yeager pershisd when he and his bike failed to jump the Mud River approximately 12 seconds later.

​​​​​​ 37 years later this tragic misfortune was cited by Mr Yeager's nephew Charles as the force driving his burning desire to claim his uncle's rightful prize, earned on 9 Mile Hill so many years ago, in the X 1 rocket plane.

One of requirements for an efficient setup is to save energy where possible. The bullhorn straight arm position gave some rest. Lemond's Tri bars allow you to rest most of your upper body on the bones of upper arm sparing your biceps and triceps and your back muscles as well. This guy's back isn't particularly horizontal and he's supporting all his weight on his armd and back muscles.
The bars and seatpost are very aero but his muscles are burning fuel he can ill afford to waste.

To be fair, the subject bicycle is a mid-1980s model. Up until 1989. the UCI forbade any device that was strictly for aerodynamic purposes. Prior to the 1989 Tour De France, attempts to use clip-on aero bars were deemed illegal by the UCI. For some unknown reason, the UCI decided to let Lemond use them in the 1989 Tour de France. In my opinion, it was a case of hidden agenda politics.

The French were so confident the upstart Lemond didn't have a clue about TT that they let him have his ridiculous clip on horns.
In the foto the bars are 6 inches too high , hence the bent arms and hunched back.

In the subject photo, lowering the bars farther would be detrimental. You don't want to straighten the arms. You want the forearms parallel to the ground, to minimize frontal area. Lowering the bars probably wouldn't fix the hunched back. In the early days of funny bikes, the vast majority of cyclists didn't have have the lower back flexibility to achieve a flat back. Only after this style of bicycles had been around for a while did cyclists start working on their back flexibility to further improve body position and aerodynamics.

Here's a TT funny bicycle influenced genre that is probably unfamiliar to most members - Formula One. Developed in 1987, Formula One was intended to provide a road alternative for BMX riders in the 9-15 age category. Riders competed in full protective gear on closed circuits, typically in parking lots. The bicycles were based on 20" wheel BMX bicycles but with frames having sloping top tubes, wheels with covers and slick or near slick tyres. Handlebars were typically flat, ATB style. Cranksets were single chainring, often disc style. These features clearly mimicked TT funny bicycles. This and the Formula One name were meant to connote an image of high tech and speed, while cost was kept reasonable by employing wheel covers instead of true disc wheels and eliminating the front derailleur. Several BMX brands released Formula One models, with Diamond Back (pictured) and Haro being the most avid supporters, Unfortunately, the sport had only limited and regional success.

As I understand it the advantage Lemond's aero bars, and all those since, is your arm and back muscles. rest on a vertical humerus bone. A good analogy is stand straight legged for an hour and then stand squatting . Very soon you will feel the burn. I doubt you will last 15 minutes and you will ache like hell.
Staight arms on bullhorns recognise the gain of straight bones as opposed to our featured rider's exertions.
BITD bullhorn rider's had flat backs but they couldn't compete with the amount of latic acid not produced by Scotts revolutionary clip ons.
In the the famous 1989 TT in Paris, Fignon was more than 50 secs up in the last competitive stage. Lemond was given no chance . He stormed home in record time and won by 8 seconds - the French still haven't gotten over it.😵😵😵😵😵
