.....And I didn't get to be this old by ignoring free lessons!
Anyway, here it is, nearly finished. I'll wait until the seatpin turns up before I ride it in anger. I'm surprised that it weighs in at 7.6kg, I haven't tried to weenie it in particular and there's a further 200g to come off with the new seatpin and a change of saddle. The wheels turned out to be 165g lighter than the trispokes, which I reckon is pretty good for clinchers with decent aero cred and not the lightest tyres (I've found Ultremos to be excellent and reasonably hard wearing). For a steel TT bike I think it's damned light. This is how I'll ride it for training and don't-give-a-monkeys evening TTs.
Proper pics around Jan 6 when I open the studio again, long holiday, wheeehaaaa!
