TRI BIKE BUILD!I have desided to build a Triathlon / Time Trial / TT bike from scratch! Reason behind this is simple, can not afford a new one and the cheap tri bikes and not brilliant and you have to pay over a £1000 before you find the one you want with the right spec / equipment on. What I will do is buy all the parts individually over a few months spreading the cost from all differnet websites (like wiggle, e-bay, evans etc etc.) - hopefully i will be able to buy good quality products cheap and maybe come accross the odd bargain here and there! March 30th 2010 - Its finished!!! I have now finished my triathlon bike! It took just over 2 months to find all the components that i wanted and have them delivered. The actual build of the bike did not take that long and I am very happy with the outcome. See pictures below for the finished article.
