This has been a budget build. Sorry i did not weight individual parts much.

An 80 year year old club member bought this frame from cielo rosso in essex. However Terry decided he couldnnomlonger adopt the position this hike demands. So i bought it. He had cabled it up fitted trp brake and carbon levers and campagnolo 10 speed bar end shifters.

I raided my parts bin for a shimano un72 bb a shkmano rx100 chainset rx100 front and rear mechs. I have fitted an 8 speed cassette and this shimergo setup works perfectly.

The wheels use 88mm deep cwrbon tubular rims that weigh 500g each. The hubs are shkmano durace 7700 12H. I did nt even know theybwere made until i came across them at a us distributor. Laced 1x on the rear with sapim cx ray spoke and continental gp4000 sr tubs have been fitted. The rear wheel bare weighed 864g and the front i forget. I know the front wheel with the tub glued on weighs 972g.

The whole bike weighs 9.3kg and that with heavy 430g shimano 1055 pedal. So quite light for a tt bike but i have tried not to comprimise on aerodynamics. I think i have spent less than £1000 on this.

It rides great shame the first tt today was a little spoilt by of the guys attending to the supplied turbos at the event coming over when i got of to take my bike out and put my qr back in. I didnt check what he did silly me and rode the tt course witht the rear brake on as the wheel moved. Qr done up quite loose. Lesson learnt there dont accept offered help. Sad world isnt it. Still another one on thursday. The problem with this bike it really doesn't allow excuses normally. If times are bad it because the rider is a bit rubbish at tt's.

That's a nice looking TT bike. Love the shapes on it - especially the fork.

Looks like it would have been pretty hardcore for an 80yr old. Props to him for trying!
