Interview With David Tiemeyer, Cauton: High Geek Content Note: Aptera is my local electric car company https://aptera.us/ : Mike

Hi Bikeworkshop, It would be nice to have the aero seatpost but I'm working with what I have, but.. If a Tiemeyer geared time trial frame shows up in my size I think I would be all over it. Writing this stuff helps keep my head in the project as the back story is a good one, just digging it...

David Tiemeyer... No doubt a very bright man. "Intellectual Property is the product of human intellect and creativity, including original works like books, music, inventions, and designs." Bold Statement... GT, the Olympic works bikes (1&3) and the production bikes were David Tiemeyer designs...

May the new week bring you all the parts you have on order. : Mike

See post above... forgot to quote you... : Mike

DISCLAIMER!!! This Information was mined from the internet using AI (alien intelligence). I really have no idea how many of the olympic bikes are left, there are 4 maybe 5 with online presence two or three restored and being ridden and the rest waiting for something to happen like waiting for...

This afternoon was spent doing dog maintenance, lube, oil change, paw rotation, removing the winter undercoat, and verifying chassis alignment. All good and a bath in the morning. The rear derailleur long cage conversion is waiting for 1 part and its holding up the whole project so after this...

Hi Gtpulse, That is a very beautiful and exceptionally outfitted Edge, everyone is always welcome to post anything they would like in my threads. Fresh ideas and personalized builds help everyone. I find the selection of parts on your Edge inspiring and very purposeful, It definitely looks the...

I'm wishing everyone a really wonderful Saturday and a heartfelt thank you for following along in my endeavor to build a bicycle in a place on the other side of the world. I try to be factual and accurate, researching obscure equipment produced 30 years ago can result in errors, omissions, and...

Not guessing, why do you think it's not Reynolds tubing, the only non hydroformed tubing is the head tube and possibly the top tube. Reynolds was one of the sponsors for GT's 1996 Olympic "Superbikes" along with Mavic, and Shimano. The Reynolds decal tells a story of collaboration on design...

I have a confession to make... I am a twisted puppy combining weight weenieism with a severe Japanese NJS/Keirin fetish. The entire cockpit, bars, stem, seatpost, pedals, and the most recent acquisition the saddle are all NJS stamped Keirin parts. Why, I just really like this stuff. A example...

While waiting for derailleur parts, brake parts showed up. I finished going through the 7800 calipers with a clean, lube, polish, Swiss Stop BXP pads, and installed some black titanium hardware. Just because you can't have to much black titanium hardware. Best Wishes: Mike

Every once in a while I actually score and it arrived 3 days early. I'm still waiting on a few bits and pieces but we are going to tear this thing apart and fit it with the long cage... : Mike

I have the same gen 2 Chorus brakes on a Colnago, I went with Kool-Stop Campagnolo Chorus pads P/N KS-CCB Black (Salmon all weather P/N KS-CCSA Salmon) and the braking went from "OMG I'm Gonna DIE" to as good or better than any single pivot caliper I have ridden. Worth the money. Note: On Mavic...

Thanks Bob, I used the wax for the final finish, it maintained the brushed finish and now has a nice sheen. The new used 7800 derailleur shipped and should be delivered by Friday so only six more days of downtime😖. Have a grand week: Mike

Dura-Ace 7803 Rear Mech, The Search For Shabby Chic... So the 7803 I have has seen better days, somewhere along the line it was left in a ultrasonic cleaner with a nasty detergent and the heat on for days. It destroyed the anodizing, erased the logos, and resulted in some corrosion pitting. In...

Finally after screwing around with it for days the front mech is installed, aligned, tooth gap set at 1.5mm minum, and it's shiny new concave clamp washer with titanium bolt and washer is torqued to 65 in lbs. I know it should only take 10 minutes to install but the OCD is strong with me and...

So what did I accomplish today. 1. Removed the lawyer lips from the fork dropouts and cleaned up the clamping faces. 2. Swapped out steering head bearings and related pieces with nicer parts as rotation did not meet expectations. All fixed. 3. Ordered a few bits to tidy up the front...

Hi Phil, I learned early, when the train comes off the tracks just get outta the way... I find if I give myself some mental space the outcome is usually much better. Have A Outstanding Day: Mike

I will just leave these here... : Mike
