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, IP licensed to GT...

I say that because when David left GT so did his designs as they were his personal property as evidenced by this continuous design evolution through 2013 when David Tiemeyer retired.

Shame he didn't keep with the aero seatpost - it makes the overall shape look a lot more logical and consistent.
Free tri bars still on offer to get those shifters "in the right place" 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 out is a adventure. But like the saying goes... "The more you know the more you realize you know nothing".
I post this stuff in the hope that someone comes along and seys "Ya got it all wrong and this is what really happened..."
Thank you again for your generous offer.

Have A Great Evening And A Wonderful Tomorrow: Mike

Parts arrived and I finally did something.
The rear derailleur is mated to the long cage and overhauled with a few tweaks. Jrc ceratech jockey wheels, vintage Kronos pivot bolt, titanium bits here and there. Lubricated with a red grease/anti-seize blend. All motions are smooth like butter.
