i messaged this guy to see if he has the original forks. no luckldrcycles wrote:Yep spot on. There was one of those bikes at the Noosa Strade Bianche show on the weekend with the correct fork and front wheel. I'd be all over that if it wasn't at the other end of the country .find_bruce wrote:

While it is always possible that it is just the usual dodgy photography, my best guess is that this was a time trial bike with funny bike geometry & some joker has replaced the 650 front wheel & fork with a 700C.

Well done.LugNut wrote:Also, for anyone playing at home - I got it. Just don't look at what I payed for it. What's a big stack of money when you could own a tandem instead!!! It was under my maximum bid and what I was expecting to pay, and I'm very excited to go and see it. Now for the next problem, how to transport a Tandem from Shepparton...
I'll be driving from Canberra to Melbourne at the end of September. Shepparton is not a long way off the Hume and it's only a bit over an hour away from Melbourne.
Cheers,
Cameron

There are some good tandem roof rack adapters available these days transport should be a breeze. Though some people can cram them into cars not much larger than a Honda jazz, well exactly the same size as one actually.

...Mulger Bill...I'm all but 6ft 5" & using traditional 25" Steel Frames... a "fist full of seat post is where its at" to quote SSS, if they were 700c rims that frame would be approx 29"...so you would have to be 7ft + to ride that...I hear TLL is big but that is a stretch...imagine the bottom bracket frame flex!Mulger bill wrote:Nah, they're 700c.

...I'd have thought the small wheels would make the bike unstable?

Cheap Katana frame in amazing condition

And is this the real deal? Apparent a Kerry Hopkins. I know he's a frame builder, but what tubing did he use? Theres not that much info at all on him. Maybe Ill get it if it is good stuff.

And looks like Rod Martin himself remembers the bike my bro bought, linked on the previous page. He built it and specifically remembers painting it for Nicole Hackett, an Aussie Olympian triathlete. Pretty cool to know that. Now to get my bro to agree to get it repainted to its prime condition.

geez, that's nice. Gotta be gone by now. Most of the people I work with are on the CC. I'll SMS in the vain hope it's still there.QuangVuong wrote: Cheap Katana frame in amazing condition
What's the go on those triples? Moves the rear wheel closer to the ST, right? Snappier handling?

I'm a fan of the dappled shade can't-see-any-detail photography. Much better than lens flare.RobertFrith wrote:Largish Kenevans in N Freo, sounds like it's been well cared for. $$$ though. Seller's other items also include crutches, he has a knee injury apparently..

My partner is in Mexico on university exchange, she was very excited to hear about it. I also asked another friend but he's too busy for a 150k ride. Of course, there is Sheldon's way...Wazza wrote: Ride it with your stoker?
Also for sale in the marketplace for same price. That's the last of the silver campy along with Athena 11, get it while you can. And what a stunning colour.RobertFrith wrote:Largish Kenevans in N Freo, sounds like it's been well cared for. $$$ though.
