Evan Andreou Posted March 6, 2007 Share Unless you kick start forklifts for a living, I'd say it's not for most of us mortals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudsimus Posted March 6, 2007 Share His fork is the wrong way round. Some bad service from his lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildog_a Posted March 6, 2007 Share Quite interesting actually, the bike was used for a motor-paced hour record attempt. Fork setup almost certainly an early experiment in aerodynamics. Pacing was generally done by a tandem pair with the fuel tank between them. Big wool sweaters was preferred garb for the tandem stoker, because of the aerodynamic advantage it was thought to offer the following cyclist... the sweaters were ultimately banned!

wildog_a Posted March 6, 2007 Share here is an example of the tandem used as a lead bike. Note the stoker's aero kit, and the following distance!  http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/d/117157-2/Dickentman.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tour Posted March 6, 2007 Share At one of the last international track meetings at the bellville velodrome, I remember there was a guy doing a motorpaced ride. He also had his fork "reversed". Any Trackies know the reason for this?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisH Posted March 6, 2007 Share The back wheels bigger than the front. No wonder he's so fast, he's riding downhill all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
