British and European 'Lo Profile Aero' Bikes

No, it was a proper stopper. Precursor to the modern frame bolt fitting brakes from Shimano and Campagnolo. Side pull by the looks, actuation similar to V Brakes. These bikes won the World 100km Team Time trial competition.

Here's one I had earlier. Built by a Leeds lad, Karl Gomersall.

I only raced it once, in a local open 10. No records set!

Raleigh built one of the first production Lo-Pro Funny bikes way back in 1972 with the Raleigh Chopper Sprint, they just didn't know it at the time. Moving forward ten years they built a very special time trial machine for Bert Oosterbosch
