Craigslist/ebay/etc finds

One friend dallied and missed the frame and wheels but got the outdoor setting. Later found out another friend raced out the door and got them.

Downside, they’re tubular.

So the merckx TT frame went to the right owner as he already has a couple on the wall

But the plot THICKENS. Stuck to the frame…

Bet that frame has seen some watts.

Looks like Germany were already on fancy carbon bikes by 1992:

I know you were all curious about what he has in there so here’s a spy shot.

What the heck? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a fork with all three of:

  • 700x40 clearance
  • caliper rim brake
  • carbon

40 clearance as long as you don’t inflate the tire

Probably more like 28-32, thinking this came off a Snob.

I should probably replace my old alu crown carbon dead ender fork, it’s probably fine but could also be a ticking time bomb

aha, you’re right that it’s probably 40mm of space, and not really room for a 40mm tire + clearance.
