Hi,
I’m new here and I’m a recent convert to cycling. I’ve got a couple of road bikes and I’ve just been given the chance to buy a Dolan Freccia aero TT frame. It’s NOS, never been used and finished in satin black. It’s 8-9 years old and I reckon I can get it for around the £150 mark.
Question is though can I run it as a normal road bike?? Every photo I’ve seen of this particular frame has it built up as a TT bike with the daft handlebars.

Thanks.

    Probably not, to be honest. There are some you can bodge into an aero road bike, but ultimately it's an uncomfortable compromise.

    If you say you've got 'a couple of road bikes' already - why the need to build an unsuitable TT frame into yet another road bike. Why not build it as a TT bike?

    Either way, the head tube will likely be far too short for 'normal' road use..

    Imposter,
    Thanks for the brief explanation into the difference. I didn’t know a TT bike has got a very short head tube.

    For the record, I just fancy building up an aero bike because I really like the look of them.
