The exhibition winds up on April 9th and I'm excited to say that we're going out with a bang - Steele Bishop has agreed to come in to the venue on Thurs 7th at midday to do a short presentation about his career. RSVP essential - reece@museumofperth.com.au

This outer urban wage slave gives his apologies now for that time and date :\
Hit me up via the BNA dm; I'll get an alert. If y'know, you know.

Unfortunately it looks as if I won't be there otherwise I'd shoot video of it.bigfriendlyvegan wrote:Video please, for those on the Best Coast, and for future generations, of course.
I can make sure we have an audio record though. I'll speak to Reece at MoP to see if he has a friendly video person, otherwise any Perth peeps with skills are most welcome to contribute

I do wonder why they chose to go with some tiny seatpost diameter over using the matching aero shaped seatpost. Surely back then the aero seat posts(either Shimano or Columbus Air) would have been readily available rather than turning down the Campag post.
This was where Bishop first saw the frame design and he then got his frame built.

Were they even making aero posts in 1981? This early aero Colnago made between 1981 and 1983 also sports a skinny (20mm!) round post.QuangVuong wrote:I do wonder why they chose to go with some tiny seatpost diameter over using the matching aero shaped seatpost.

So, yes they definitely did make aero posts in 1981. The Oval CX came with a Colnago branded seatpost made at the 20mm size, whereas the Estermann bikes have seatposts which look to be turned down to the skinny size.

@RobertFrith : in lieu of any of us being there to video or record the occasion; perhaps we can get one of our longer retired foundation WAHCC members to transcribe the talk in long hand?

RetroGrouch: Mr. Bishop, why did you choose to use the Campagnolo asymmetric phase coupler array over Shimano's nucleonic pulse harmoniser on the auxiliary tuberosity support beam?RobertFrith wrote:Close up FWIW. I'll get the question asked and have a closer look when we bump the show out in a week and a half.
Steele Bishop: Yeah, I rode the bike really fast but not as fast as some of the other guys on bikes who were going fast, but faster than the guys who weren't going as fast. Does that answer your question?
