Upgrading to something a little more aero than my brick of a Vigorelli for next year's season. My budget isn't huge, so the aim of the game is to try and build something with the lowest CdA for the littlest £. Weight is being considered, but isn't a main priority.
Just purchased this frame off PX's ebay store, £110 off due to a cosmetic chip on the head tube.
Spec is hopefully going to look something like this:
Frame: Planet X Pro Carbon Track Frame
Fork: Probably a 3T Funda, or some kind of aero fork.
Chainset: Unsure on these, either 75s or 7710.
Chainrings: Dura Ace 55t
Track Cog: Phil Wood 15t
Chain: Wipperman 1R8
Front Brake: Ideally a Tririg Omega, but probably a SRAM Apex
Handlebars: These, Zipp Garmin mount, SRAM TT500 brake lever
Bar tape: DSP
Stem: Probably a 3T Arx
Wheels: Hed 3 front, Ellipse with raltec covers rear, or maybe one of those £400 ebay clincher track discs. Conti Supersonic front, Vittoria Diamante radiale rear, latex tubes.
Saddle: Adamo
Pedals: Look Keos, maybe the new blades if I can find them reasonably priced.
Should also include my 2014 targets as well (2013 results in brackets):
10: Long 20 on a fast course (v718/f11/10), short 21 on anything else (21.57)
25: Short 55 (58.27)
50 Reasonably under 2hrs, 1:57ish (2:05:56)
100: Firstly attempt to find the motivation to enter, no idea on a target but under 4:30 would be amazing.
