upsidedown's TT bike

I'm using Powercordz, and i don't like to talk about cabling Ventus bars

I didn't have too much trouble using the side exits (push an inner through and thread the outer on that).

The central exit though...

All done

rad!

It's a beaut!

Rear tyre mounted the other way?

Looks fast!

Track style innit.

All done

Apart from cutting off the excess steerer

Gotta think of that resale value

That looks fast. Obviously not the point of the bike but what does it weigh? Also why those cranks over DD75s?

Because I wouldn't sell him mine

Ostensibly aero, basically the same Q as dd75s, got them at trade. No idea on weight actually, don't have scales at the moment. Probably about 7.5kg

No idea on weight

165mm/49T without BB

FWIW, 177.5mm/53T Vuma Chrono is 705g without BB

Miche though...seems so out of place compared to the other parts on this. Acetone would help considerably

I did mean the whole bike but that seems about what DDs/Omniums are

I did mean the whole bike

Mine is 7.9kg, his bars are lighter but his frame is bigger, so probably pretty close overall.

Gotta think of that resale value

Might be worth leaving 6mm or so spare to allow for a normal stem. At least buy some spacers which match the top cap :)

Trust me i know this pain. Will eventually acetone but they're tough decals.

Obviously an SRM track would be preferable.

basically the same Q as dd75

Which is?

I did ask Amey, but he's been otherwise occupied...

Which is?

@xavierdisley says just under 140mm for the Pistard Air. Vision NS is 137mm

How come it's the second-tier manufacturers, making the low-Q/aero running?

I know Vision are FSA' Lexus, but still...

How come it's the second-tier manufacturers, making the low-Q/aero running?

Maybe they see a niche in aero where they are not up against Shimano/SRAM/Campag, so they can make their own running. On Q, they are no better than Omnomnom (135mm) 7710 (136mm) or Record Pista (131mm)

Bike looks so good!
@Turkish Pistard Air is stiffer than DD... Less stiff than Omnium though.

Who wants a slender classic with a shoddy modern axle shoehorn job anyway? :-)

The US/EU fixie market seems to be loving them.

Pistard Air? I suppose they will be popular until the superior Vision one starts turning up in the shops :) Being cheaper than Omnomnoms probably helps.
