I've just got back from a few years abroad with work (I was speaking to a chap at HMRC the other day getting everything sorted and he remarked that I was the only person he'd come across in recent times enquiring about returning to the UK given the current circumstances, but I've never been good with timing!). Whilst the UK appears pretty different to when we were last here, luckily the TT scene still seems alive and well.
I really missed TTs when I was abroad. I'd just got into them when I left, so was keen to get a decent build up and running asap when we arrived back at the end of last summer. I managed to get pick this P3 frame up second hand – it had taken a bit of a cosmetic battering, but structurally seemed good and the numbers looked like it would fit well.
I decided to throw some money at this build as I wanted it to last a long time and I'll only be racing TTs for the next few years. That said, other than the bars, calipers, cables and chainguide I managed to pick everything second hand.
The Tririg bars and brakes are really fantastic bits of kit. So intuitive to put together, super easy to adjust (which is really important with a TT bike you'll be forever tinkering with your position on) and also easy to cable (the frame was a pig however). As mentioned In the first post I took precisely one terrible photo of the build process but the finished article looks pretty mean.
