Here she is. For anyone that isn’t following the threads I do a bit of TT outside of MTB, so when the price went down to £799 I could resist a properly shaped bike for the cause without having to re-mortgage:

Adjustments as per me now done, although once in the groove I reckon the cockpit can be lowered. The 50’s are on for the photo’s only hence no cassette. The crank is being swapped for the Infocrank PM currently on the other bike, pedals will be replaced of course.

View from from the bridge, pads will go on when the shop have finished with the cranks.

Wide (carbon) fork

Internal cabling & brake calliper out of the wind. The issue with the calliper is that it doesn’t have a cam lever on it, it’ll be interesting if I puncture as I can’t get a full inflated 25mm tyre in / out.

The odd thing is that the green looks much brighter in photos. In real life is more pale making it look like a white bike with subtle green bits. Also, the side profile doesn’t show the fatness of the tubes – it looks skinny there, but the top of the fork for example is as wide as my palm. Also, the welds are smoothed a la cannondale.
Riding a TT is very much like making love to a beautiful woman whilst on a starship: Put your head down and go hell for leather until you feel like your lungs are going to explode. Get into your rhythm and pound on, then, as you begin to lose your vision, make one last powerful burst for the big finish.
… oh, and don’t be tempted to use the little ring or your chances of a win are close to zero
