Hello from crazyace

[crazyace]

Hello every body, I am Alan and I live in South Yorkshire in England UK. My hobbies are playing the violin and mainly time trialling. A member of the Yorkshire Road Club and I have a Planet-X, a Quintana Roo, A Ribble (my winter bike) and a CBR mountain bike.
I am 61 years of age and still love my sport.

huge ring there

650 wheels so I would be rocking a 60t ring as well. The bikes look great.

Hi nice ride, I saw your picture at the planet x site, I'm thinking of getting one but unsure of sizing, how tall are you and the saddle height, I'm 5ft 5ins, planet x don't have any small in stock so was thinking the x-small with 650c wheels would be a better fit so i can get a lower front end.

any pictures of you riding to see your fit would be great.

Hi Alan, Welcome to Weight Weenies. I saw your Planet X Stealth over at Slowtwitch. I race tt on a Stealth too. I run a single 53 up front. Maybe in a few years.....

Hi thanks for the welcome. If you are getting good times on the 53 stick with it. I was once into bodybuilding and now that I am cycling I find that I have a slow cadence and I have use my use power instead.

I am 5':8" but I chose this size because my previous bike had 650c wheels and I could not justify spending over a grand on another pair of race wheels and with the frame being the same size as the old one, it was just a matter of using the same wheels.
I do not have a picture of me on this bike yet but here I am on the old one.

Here I am after the final set up. well almost I have shortened the aero-bars since taking the photo to bring my elbows back a little.

Yes I do have an aggressive position, but I do not stick to 20 and 40k events, I ride all distances from 5 miles to 12 hours.
I took the bike out for it's first airing today as the weather was good for the first time since I built it. Here is a picture taken by my wife Jackie.
