giant tcr alliance tt bike WIP

brearley

Decided to build up a tt bike out of spare parts as I'm looking to get an entry time capable of getting in the national 10 mile tt championship.
I've not really ridden tts for the last 5 years but I went sub 21 when I was 18.
Anyway, here is what I have at the moment.


It's pretty narrow from the front.
Still to do.
> cut front mech down to make chain guide
> replace rear mech lower cage with short cage
> drill front brake for central brake cable entry
> fit chain and pedals.

Total cost so far is £8, all other parts were spares.

Explain please?

easiest way to explain it is with a picture. http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/pho ... -da/120332

I'll be using an old campag brake calliper which should be slightly narrower.
I do have a few other mods I'd like to try but it's having the time and resources to do so.
I can't mod the frame as it's not mine.
For big events I have use of a hed3c front and a hed3c deep rear or a zipp disc.
It should be finished to ride by tonight hopefully.

I think it's great, I'm toying of doing something similar with my old Dolan...I'll give you £10 yes £10 for your HED's that is more than double the cost of your build! (no need to thank me)
