I wish I hadn't posted it now....I feel depressed
Amazing how bikes from this era have gone from being old hat to collectable over a very short time.0 -
Yep - I have a 1978 Motobecane, hadn't been ridden since the mid 90's. I refurbished it a couple of months ago (full respray, new decals, all components cleaned up etc) and I can't take it out on the road without someone asking me if they can buy it0

The Kirk !!! Wow! there were a few of them ridden in my club in the early-mid 90's. Good memories, funny looking bike.0 -
Really enjoying this thread. That Colnago is a beaut. Watch talk is interesting.Contador is the Greatest0

Hetchins with curly stays
Thanet Silver light with the triple triangle "invented" by GT many years later
Bates BAR, note the Diadrant forks and if you look very carefully the main tubes are 531 Cantiflex, which means they bulge in the middle like a cigar instead of being butted 0 -
Paris Roubaix mech, what a faff about, this guy makes it look easy though. The rear wheel moves in the dropout to tension the chain.

Amazing how smooth it seems to be0 -
That guy makes it look easy to be fair, I'd probably eject the rear wheel if I tried! Better than taking out the wheel and flipping it round to get your "uphill" gear though0

Is this one of those Norsk Hydro frames that Dag-Otto Lauritzen rode in the 1993 Tour of Flanders and probably the rest of that season? I think Dag was still with TVM but maybe his wages were paid by N-H to promote their frame.
Does anyone have a photo of the yellow Corima carbon road frame from 1993? There was a photo of it in an issue of Cycling Weekly in February or March of that year. I'll have to dig it out.

It's a Kirk Precision frame created by Frank Kirk. I think Norsk Hydro were involved in the production later in it's life.0 -

I've never heard of the Hydro connection before but it seems they were involved later in the Kirk's life. You can read about it at http://www.kirk-bicycles.co.uk/Kirk-History.htm
I remember a friend had the mountain bike version. It was hideous and weighed a tonne as far as I can remember. Innovation is good, but not always successful...0 -

A club mate of mine had one. He was renovating it a couple of years ago but I don't know if he finished it. They were magnesium frames. I think they had a team for a season or two (or at least a team rode on the bikes). As I recall they were horrendously heavy.0 -
My dream bike when I was a kid, one of them went to auction and my Dad tried to buy it (not for me just as a collectors peice) but it went for (Quite rightly) crazy money
The lesser known road going version, the 110 with mavic electronic transmission
