After starting this thread - I made the purchase of the TT frame for £97 last night.......
Now to decide whether or not to go with gears or go fixed.....Hmmmmm
May have to go fixed for now and migrate when cash becomes free!0 -

Fixed Time Trial Bike.
Isn't that an oxymoron anywhere other than in a velodrome?
Beryl Burton, probably the greatest time-trialist in history, used a fixed gear almost exclusively.- 2023 Vielo V+1

- 2020 Canyon Ultimate CF SLX

Chris Boardman used a fixed for his build up to the '92 Olympics and Hour Record in '93. I think he set the 25mile TT record then too on a fixed (45:57mins) - not sure of the gear but he was using something similar to that he rode on the track, probably a 55x13.
He's a clip from the archives during the lead up to the hour record attempt in '93 when he got the 25mile TT recordhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBdJf5OkUc0&feature=PlayList&p=57BD44117D4C267B&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=30
He also won about 4 national hill climb champs on a fixed too.SC61.10a: FCN 3, with clip-on guards for winter
Uncle John: FCN ?? knobblies, or 'fat' slicks n guards
If you haven't tried these things, you should.
These things are fun, and fun is good.0 -

yips thats high gearing my bike gets to about 110 in the highest...and while i'm a low cadence grinder than spinner not sure even on the fat i'd gear that high mind you i'm very rarely on a flat road, the downs do tend to be either up or down...0
