"Low Profile" Time Trial Frame
Built by Dave in 1986.
Unique design with the rear brake fitted under the bottom bracket.
Later it was resprayed flourescent pink in "team colours" and badged by Shorter,
but the last photo shows the bike in its original livery before the previous owner painted it neon pink, and relabeled it.

I Bought only the frame , already repainted from a guy in the uk, and i have plans to build it up with gears in the next summer.

White and Neon pink aerospoke, a rear brake with gold finger brake lever.

Rides very solid, and fast.

Lovely!

Tubing is Reynolds 753R, Bottom bracket is Supervitus, stamped with "1686"

Holier than thou.

I see that people hate to hate for whatever reason that it is. No worries!

Ride that bicycle, as I would do with a smile on my face!

when the standing still subsides, the moving will resides.
each covert compassion yields to its known spectacle.

I think thats its a tribute

Submitted by Trudy Thompson on 10/05/2008.

I think thats its a tribute to my dad that this frame is still being ridden and is giving enjoyment to the guy that rides it. i hope that you have many more years riding and enjoying this frame no matter what colour or whatever transfers are on it. i have to say my dad built me a bike years ago and i approve of the colour as thats the colour i choose

Pink wouldn't have been my choice but...

Submitted by LoWrEnT on 09/23/2008.

.. you're not the guy who painted it this color anyway! You just saw a cool frame for what it is no matter what color it's wearing and put it back on the road. I'd have bought it,built it up as-is,and have fun riding it just like you did. Nice job.

Submitted by Toaster_Cake on 09/17/2008.

I know this frame was painted pink and ruined and all, but why go put on aerospokes with the pink rolls?? Are you those people who buy many bikes just to show off how "cool" their bikes look but don't ride? You could've at least given it some decency

Chill down guys, why all the

Submitted by Insomnia on 09/17/2008.

Chill down guys, why all the insults? I like the bike very much (Yes Pink) and as Deus wrote, he did NOT paint it pink and he can convert it back to an original TT bike any day so what is then the problem?

Submitted by Deusone on 09/15/2008.

dont you guys read,???

I got the frame from a guy in the Uk 2 months ago, already repainted, and relabeled.

He sent me a pic of the original paintjob and build up back in the 1986 when the bike were built. but the bike were taken apart, painted pink and not ridden after 1999.

If you dont like it, pls keep your attitude and hater comments to youself.

this is a nice looking ride.

Submitted by Aaron C on 09/15/2008.

just never tell anyone you (or whoever painted this thing) ruined a beautiful one of a kind bike.
it is a nice ride, just kind of twisted to put an original pic up too.

Yes, we 'haters' have sense enough not to trash fine, low-production, vintage bikes.

i hate what you did to this

Submitted by Streetcore on 09/15/2008.

i hate what you did to this bike. you've destroyed an amazing bike just to "tarck" it out. why not by an affinity and do that? something with less history and quality.

Submitted by Streetcore on 09/15/2008.

dude... seriously. "fuck you"? come on. don't get me wrong, i like affinities, but i think it would be a much more fitting frame to tarck out. yeah affinities are nice, but they're just the same as any other steel tig-welded track frame. cro-mo steel, but with different geo. calm down man, getting mad at me for comparing an affinity to a 20-30 year old lugged pursuit frame is pretty dumb.
