Thanks mate!
They look like really handy frames, a bit more aero than the Koga probably. I never bought it intending to use it as a TT frame but I've been enjoying it so far and seem to be making steady progress.
What are the dimensions of it and how tall are you?
Big fan of the DIY aero parts too. Get out and use it! You're Manchester based aren't you? Do the Congleton CC 50 on 12 August and I'll come and see it in the flesh!
What uses do the other three have by the way? Group photo needed I think.

Not sure there's much between them, aero-wise; Koga has a much better ST rear wheel cutout and a slicker DT, while the PC has that seatpost (which likely makes no difference) and a shorter HT, but the DT is diamond shaped, which can't be very helpful.
It has a 55cm (effective) top tube, 52cm to top of seat tube, and HT is 107mm. I'm 181cm tall, with slightly shorter legs than usual, and using Adamos (Attack & Podium), BB to saddle top along ST is about 76cm, with 175mm carbon showing at the leading edge of the seatpost.
That TT is very tempting! 5-ish weeks is probably just enough time to get fit for a first ever 50... I'll give it some thought, and might see you there!
I started a CP thread (https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/307166/#comment13724010) yesterday, inspired by the feedback received here over the last few days, which will cover their respective uses, past DIY etc... Got photos going back a couple of years (been too lazy to share until now) but need to organise files so I can post things in chronological order, so will be another couple of days before anything else is posted. Should be pretty steady posting from there though because it needs bringing up to date as quickly as possible. Agreed; group photo definitely required, though!

@tommmmmmm Cheers dude! Not taken it out to even a midweek 10 so far this year, and I'm not remotely fit, so there's little hope it of it going anywhere near as fast as it might look, ha.
Your Koga build is absolutely class btw (I'm @lukashodgson, following you on insta), love those frames, that build, and your shots mid race.
Yes, it is a Pursuit Champ! Which one in Classifieds do you mean? If it's this black one https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/303311/#comment13587198 from @allister (absolute legend), I'm happy to say the proud owner of its sister frameset, that he managed to trace for me, which has some considerable racing pedigree (maybe more on that in a future CP thread)...
The frames are the perfect size for me, and so versatile, so I got a bit greedy and currently own three.
This one wasn't in great cosmetic condition when I bought it, so thought it would be cool to try a strip and polish after seeing that Bikeradar HC bike video. Just needs a headtube decal so more people know what it is, hehe.
