A strange bike indeed.

Different than Mr. Yamaguchi’s bikes; these were screw and glue bike frames.
The Team GT bike is later, 90's. Not sure I follow what you're referring to regarding glue and screw though.
Those Raleigh used cast lugs that were made for the tubes to be glued with a new type of glue. Vitus were making bikes like that already. Those head tube lugs were a heavy affair. Marrying the stem to the fork also was heavy. The object was, of course, to punch a smaller hole in the air and to allow a better slipstream in a pursuit race. They could not make the head tube as aero as they would have liked to match the (then) new True Temper and Reynolds aero tubing. I remember reading several articles about that bicycle including the one you posted. That original super bike is what sparked my permanent fascination with composite bicycles.

The red specialised as a wear and tear blackhole fork which is the most valuable bike fort in the world. A bike with it on Ebay went for $15000.Oh NOOOOOOOOO!

Paul Lew invented that fork/wheel system. I never saw a man put out so much publicity for a product that yielded so few examples. I had some of his race wheels (which became the basis of the Reynolds composite wheels) that were on fire sale when he sold out. No doubt the lightest wheel I had seen with production components (Ada and Lightweight were lighter but used carbon hubs and spokes). I wonder what Paul Lew is doing these days?
