aero bike
I did some crazy things with bikes when i was about 15 (1984).I squashed the main tubes on an old raliegh racer in a vice to make them look aerodynamic and drilled holes in the tubes to make it lighter.i used a frame for 26" wheels and fitted 27" wheels for that close clearance look and forks for a 24 " wheel with the rake bent almost staight for ultra close clearance for the 27"wheel.The front was so close i had to reverse the brake so the pads reached the wheel.The bike was a single speed fixed gear with a 52 x17 gear.Painted it matt black with upturned racing handlebars and the tops cut off.i was basically trying to make it look like a pusuiting bike of the day .i used it for school every day until i crashed it one year later.
I just wish i had taken photos of it ,the bike looked pretty cool back then as the aero stuff was all very new and expensive ,totally out of reach for me .
