ZFG* Casati Lo-Pro TT bike

*zero fucks given

My very ratty Casati ellisse due lo-pro has been pressed into service for TT's on a budget.

Well aware that the saddle angle needs sorting (that pic actually makes it look quite a lot worse than it is)

• Frame: Casati Ellise Due lo pro - Columbus EL tubing
  
• Forks: 1" 650c Kinesis carbon
  
• Front wheel: 650c Mavic 3g (which incidently IS CTT legal - as i measured it and its open area is 47%)
  
• Rear wheel: Renn 575 disc (NOT a zipp) with campag 10speed 11-25 cassette
  
• Cranks: Miche Primato track cranks with a 52t 144 bcd ring that I had lying around.
  
• Bars: Pursuit bullhorns and RSP tt bars - both of which need changing as they are not ideal, but are what I had lying around... (bit of a theme developing)
  
• Shifters: Shimano bar end levers in friction mode (only rhs/rear is connected)
  
• Deraileur: Campag Centaur 10speed rear and a random Campag front mech to act as a chain keeper.
  
• Saddle: Planet-x
  
• Seatpost and Stem: Halfords(!!!) own brand cheapy
  
  
  

To Do:

New bars/stem
Swap cranks out for Veloce ultratorque (when I have pressed new bearings onto those cranks)

By the looks of things the budget wasn't too restrictive! ;-) its lush.

Churs :)

Actually it has been done on the cheap and parts accumulated over a LONG time (think I have had the frame for around 4 years...)
The disc is probably the priciest part - and that was <£200

Well it rides ok and the disc makes a suitably epic boom/roar

My direction finding left a little to be desired (to put it mildly) at the TT around the lake last night - so ended up doing an extra 4miles on a 8mile TT....
