NotSoBigBen Posted August 6, 2009 Share I assume many of these heavily 'sloped' (towards the front unlike the modern sloped backwards bikes of today!) bikes started life as TT or track bikes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted August 6, 2009 Share Is that a Rohloff on the back there? I don't see a shifter for it though. maybe a power meter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're pursuit frames (but as always, there's a 50% chance I'm right...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old road TT and track pursuit/ TT bikes often had a smaller front wheel to lower the setup and aero position aswell to get the rider closer to the front rider in team persuit/TT for aero advantage. Popular was 27inch rear wheel and 26inch front wheel and fork. UCI ruled this setup out later so now both wheels need to be same size for road and track events Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
