Koichi Yamagughi built World Championship time trial frame and fork

     This is a pretty special bike. It was built by Koichi Yamaguchi in the mid 1980's for Huffy Corp. / Mike Melton. It was used in the 1986 World Championship time trial event and then used for the 1988 Olympics as a time trial training bike, where the rear seat stay was broken (see photo). It was then retired and given to Jerry Schultz, by Mr. Yamaguchi under the condition that it can never be sold. It was then given to us, by Jerry in the late 1990's. Again, under the condition that it never be sold. So, here it sits. It is a good conversation piece as most people see the decals and immediately dismiss it, or poke fun. I then have to explain the provenance and that it is a unique piece. We also have the letter of certification from Mr. Yamaguchi stating the above facts, very cool. These are the types of bikes that hold the most interest to me, actual race bikes that can be traced back to a specific event / athlete.  Enjoy the photos!

     This is a pretty unique bike we recently acquired. Nishiki Linear pursuit / time trial bike. It is from the mid 80's I believe. These are not UCI / USCF approved, so it would be a great beginners time trial bike or a good practice bike. It also just looks really cool. I always had a soft spot for time trial / funny bikes because they just look so fast, even standing still. You would definately turn heads even just cruising around town on this bike!
