I think you'd benefit from a bike fit - your saddle is too high (no knee bend) and your front is not low enough to be aero (perhaps bike too big sadly given it looks like a lovely machine).

Revisiting my tri days of when I was a school age yoof. 2nd hand bike for me but put on a Tririg Omega brake and 88mm Far Sport 23m clinchers with ceramic hubs. Ridden a couple of times and reckon I need a shallower front wheel as it blows all the time around here!

Will need to suss a better base bar and riser at some stage to make it cleaner, but it’s sweet for what I need for now.

@reedplayer that's the shortest head tube I ever saw.

@Klaster_1, yes, with 60 mm (smallest size!), its on the short side. trek speed concept comes into my mind, which starts at 65mm.

but comparatively long fork of ca 378mm compensates the short ht a little bit.

Here's mine. Not very new, and I'm not happy with the position yet. Planning to visit a wind tunnel when they reopen - big gains with a different helmet and some front end tweaks I reckon. Sorry about the image blurriness - only race pic since some fairly major changes.

I was planning on getting a new TT frame recently, but I just love this Transition so much. Really fast fun bike to ride. Could really use a better crankset, bottom bracket and shifters.

Your bike "closet" (whatever it's called) is super cool! Bike looks awesome too. :)

Your elbow pads are at your wrists, and your heel at the 6 o'clock position is extended upwards so much it looks as if you're pedalling on the tips of your toes.

The frame is a bad fit.
