But i agree with most of the rest. Your body is the least aero part of the equation and also the motor so training and tuning an aero position will save masses more time than funky wheels. Funky wheels come when you're 'almost' winning your TTs and want to beat the fecker in the funny hat on the funny bike. You can buy speed, but what's the point, unless you're almost winning races on ability alone?
Hmmm thanks. I never really thought about it like that. You're right of course. However the engineer inside me loves well designed, nicely machined and well finished 'bling' for the want of a better word. And in reality my current fitness level is much below where I was at nearly twenty (bloody hell, I only just realised that!) years ago. I'd almost decided on Open Pros purely on my past experiences with them, maybe with aero spokes
I've got some cheap aero bars and bullhorns on the Pompino which looks a bit odd to some, and I've been commuting regularly 25 miles round trip, and getting out for 30-35 miles at a time on off days on a fairly spinny gear at the moment.

Thanks to all as ever
