I got bored of adding clip on tri bars, swapping seat, moving the seat etc on my road bike so I’m building a specific tri bike that can live on the turbo or do race specific training rides but might only get 5-6 races per year and maybe 10-12 outdoor rides.
Aim is under £1k
No disc brakes, easy maintenance so I can fix issues myself
So far I have
Neil Pryde XL frame set off eBay arriving next week
105 cranks, probably 165mm length- had these
105 mechs off here
Ultegra brakes off here
Clip on bars with hed extensions which I like so will keep for now
3t base bar on way from wiggle- allegedly was £120, now £30
None matching tt brake levers- remains to be seen if I can live with this
ISM saddle- love this for tt, stops my legs going numb so I can run well off the bike
Should be able to at least bolt some bits on next weekend and make it look like a bike (minus wheels)
Local shop is closing so hopefully I can get some cheap wheels there, plus maybe the cassette and chain.
Race wheels, tyres, bottle mounts and wahoo computer mount needed next. Next race is early august so ideally before then.
