Death fork? Naaaah!!
This hung in the barn for years before I sold it off to a rider that could do it justice:

Found one, but the search still continues
Picked up this last week, thanks Alex, still keen to see what else is about, either build up but not restored, or prefer as frame only

Thats not a pursuit bike, its a road TT bike. (Pursuit being strictly a track event). . It looks very nice though. I don't know when Coors Light race team was formed but i thought they used Serotta for most of their bikes, hoowever, that is a great bike, 753 with cinelli bb.

As far as I have found they did use Serotta for their team bikes and the colors were bright yellow and red. Those were also the "typical" road frame set with level top tubes and both wheels the same size. Mine is none of these. Yes this is a road frame as opposed to strictly track, but I believe it qualifies as a funny bike with a 700 rear and 24 front wheel set. I mentioned that I am trying to find if the Coors Light team on my frame is/was real. I also have a separate post asking this same thing with more pictures. So far no one has stated anything about it being real or not or any possibility of it.

It really just looks like a decal set someone has chopped up with an xacto knife and installed on your top tube. The Coors Light team was active from 1990 to 1994 and would have used Serotta for theroad TT bike as well due to sponsor obligations
So yes, i would say you have a real "funny bike" , but not a Coors Light team time trial bike

The frame arrived today and they are definitely add on stickers. I also heard from the previous owner stating the same. And that's fine with me I'm not a fan of beer anyways. I still think it looks great. As far as the "real" Coors team yes they used Serotta but they used LeMond frames also.

Does anyone know how to determine or describe the "size" of a funny bike? Obviously the seat-tube length wouldn't be a good way to describe the bike, nor would the exact "top tube" length. So... ETT? Or... ?

You lucky bastard!!! Where the hell did you find a bicycle like that at a garage sale?!? And how did that purchase conversation go? Share the whole story please. The bike is a wet dream! Look at that paint! All it needed was bullhorns. Who the heck did you sell it to? All I can say is wow......I need this kind of stuff to start happening to me....ha ha ha.
Turns out that it had very minor front end damage. Ended up parting it out. Sold the frame and wheels together (with full disclosure of damage) to a guy who wanted a fixie. Kept the seat and Stronglight Delta.
At the same sale, I picked up a pair of Campagnolo Omegas laced to Bullseye hubs for a Hamilton.
