hey, that Tomac picture thread a while back was pretty fun- how about some Overend photos? I'll go first. Ned, not Ned. Ned, not Ned. Road Ned.
It looks like a Specialized Stumpjumper model from the late '80s. They had one that was green/pink/white - quite horrible looking. He's also wearing Specialized gloves.kb11 said:Cool pics :thumbsup: What bike is Ned lowsliding? (3rd pic) doesnt look like a Specialized
They don't look like drops but more like bullhorn type bars open at both ends of the "barend" It looks like regular canti levers mounted on the forward end and bar-end shifters in the backside.ssmike said:It also looks like he's (or it could be a different rider from the first photo if it's the same race) riding drop bars in his over-the-bars photo.
I couldn't figure that out either - definitely a bar-end shifter. Maybe the bar end and brake lever are mounted to a Syncros-like bar end??? Wonder how his gut feels landing on that right side shifter?Shayne said:They don't look like drops but more like bullhorn type bars open at both ends of the "barend" It looks like regular canti levers mounted on the forward end and bar-end shifters in the backside.
....that was my intent, to show ned riding the same spots as some others in a slightly different style....i don't know anything about the specialized in the 3rd shot except that it was in 1988.ssmike said:It looks like a Specialized Stumpjumper model from the late '80s.

I should probably read the original post. the over-the-bars shot: not Ned. The sliding out shot: not Ned.
Not Nedly.ssmike said:I couldn't figure that out either - definitely a bar-end shifter. Maybe the bar end and brake lever are mounted to a Syncros-like bar end??? Wonder how his gut feels landing on that right side shifter?
Here's an old poster, of course Ned has a glare on him. I think this is 89.surly357 said:hey, that Tomac picture thread a while back was pretty fun- how about some Overend photos? I'll go first. Ned, not Ned. Ned, not Ned. Road Ned.
Serious? A picture of an obscure part might be more challenging. Initials as a hint (L-R): SB, DP, NO, EB, LM. LM was a cutie!Fillet-brazed said:Who can name the other riders?
yeah, i've posted that second one before, i gotta get busy w/the scanner. between the wifes work on one computer and my daughters 'my space' on the other it doesn't happen too often. by the time i remember how the scanner works i'm getting kicked off! maybe i should bring it to work- always time here. (uh, forget that last part.....).Fillet-brazed said:Not Nedly.
Cool pics, Surly. What else have you got? I like the first one a lot; never seen it. That second shot is John Weisenrider with his famous bars.
Darrel (sp?) as wellRumpfy said:Sara, Darrel, Ned, Eladee (sp?) and Lisa.
I'll let someone else get the last names.
Fine, throw an extra 'l' in there.ssmike said:Darrel (sp?) as well
actually, there's a "y" and only one "l" and only one "r"Rumpfy said:Fine, throw an extra 'l' in there.
Aw for F's sake. My interweb search for the correct spelling failed me.ssmike said:actually, there's a "y" and only one "l" and only one "r"
Great shots again! Bicycle Bob Gregorio went on to be Tomac's trusty full-time mechanic as you probably know.surly357 said:ned winning the 85 iron horse bicycle classic, 86 ihbcx3, and just because i can post 5 at a time, a shot of 'bicycle bob' for good measure.
You guys are too good. BW, you know the photographer?Bigwheel said:Sara Ballantine, Daryl Price, Ned Overend, Elladee Brown and Lisa Muich.
But who took the picture?
Fillet-brazed said:Great shots again! I know Ibis made the Specialized bikes he rode.

I'd like to see that picture.flozza said:I remember a photo in a US magazine around 1989-90 where Ned is flying around a corner, both wheels sliding, no fingers on the brake levers. Truely inspirational stuff for me at the time as a teenager. I must find that magazine and scan it.
