Here's my bike i built up over the winter a couple of years back. Just changed the wheels from Planet X 80mm to these Vision Metron 81's. New bar tape, changed from black, and a new saddle Selle Itallia NT1 which i'm still not convinced is any more comfortable than the selle itallia slr carbon that used to be on it.
The rest of the bike is Dura Ace shifters, mechs and cranks. Dura Ace chain (noisy) and Vision Tri Max bars (soon to be changed for carbon). Hope you like it. :D

    That looks smart :)

    Why the change of wheels? Do you notice a difference?
    Red bikes are the fastest.

    Changed the wheels as i found the planet X a little bit flexy. Also they got through brake pads as if they were made of cheese. The Visions can also take a much higher tire pressure. And they look better :D

    My LBS has one of these in its window that I keep gazing at longingly. Never done a TT in my life, but I love the looks of this bike!

    Thanks for the comments. Its a standard 53-39 double and 11-25 cassette. Worst thing about the bike is the rear brake. Being aero is all very well, but with such limited access changing pads or adjusting anything is a proper pain in the arse :evil:
