I knew you would purchase that frameset one day! Can you get a customized colour, because I think the standard Trek colours are ugly?
Will you use the Oval brakes again?
As for the brake levers, I think the Tektro or Oval ones will be a bit lighter. But the Bontrager brake levers look cool and fast.
Think about the Bontrager aero bottle as well.
Looks like a very nice build, Tillquist. Go on.
Looks like a perfect bike, but i got 2 questions;
Is this an tt bike for races or just for fun and good weather riding?
Otherwise i would change the seat, wont be that comfortable in tt style.
And i should change your crancks to 180, like the pros. Or have you tried this before?
But it would be MINE dreambike

I think Trek is a great way to go right now for a TT frame. With all the loot they've thrown at this project during the Lance years, they sure do have one of the best aero bikes from a large manufacturer. One thing that impressed me on the '07 line is the new fork crown molding in very close to the frame. I've been considering one of the aluminum Equinox '07s myself

Hmmm... I don't know how tall Tillquist is, but 180mm cranks are looooong. A guy like George Hincapie has 177.5mm on his TT bike.
In 2007 I will ride 172.5mm on my road bike, and 175mm on the TT bike.

Why no arione or something more comfortable for TT?
Fi'zi:k Arione is cool, but a hell to have on a TT bike. Just because this saddle is that long, it is very difficult to get it 5cm behind the bottom bracket line as the UCI requires (just another stupid rule ).
sounds good!
record is nice, but when i had the tt shifters in my hands a few weeks ago, i thought they're butt ugly and bulky, and really not matching the rest of the group wich was wonderful in 06 and even better in 07.
when you get the bontrager bottle and cage, i'm very interested where to buy and how it performs!

Question:
Casran what other Saddle would you suggest then?
if the arione or SLR is no option,
Does any one know where to get that Bontrager Aero bidon?

Yes, I can get all the colors like Madone 5.9 SSL Project One.
I not think I well use my Oval braks, maybe FSA SL-K or Record 07 braks.
Yes, I have get one of Bontrager aero bottle, they look very nice.

The bike is for race I don't have that kind of money just to build bike for fun.... Os the bike is for reel race.
I have a SLR carboni seat on my TT bike now and it fit me very well.
Yes cranks 180 but they are very hard to find, as carbon

The extra length of an Arione is sitting in the rear end of the saddle
This is my Bike. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my bike is useless. Without my bike, I am useless.

I would use SLT T1 seat for speed and cheaper urology bill...and I stay away any parts that say Tectro...
How about FSA brake levers...
I use 177.5mm D-A (55/43 rings) cranks when road has 175mm Record carbons. Longer will not spin nice and fast on flat as shorter but they are like turbo on hills...chose cranks for tracks, on D-A, that's easy and they are cheap.
