As Tester said a few pages ago, his builds just make no sense. I am just not sure why anyone would choose to have a TT bike made out of steel. If you really wanted to be fast as possible, you'd just get a Shiv/P5/etcetc

The amount Rob is losing on his new TT bike compared with a carbon superbike is pretty small, probable under 5W*. Meanwhile, he gets to go out and play on a rolling billboard for his business.

Of course, I can't see why anybody else would get him to built their TT bike, but for him to roll around on a demonstration of the scope of his abilities makes perfect sense.

People (like me and Rob and a lot of others) just have a bigger smile on our face, when we ride our steel bike instead of a carbon bike.

When your drafting behind other riders, the frame materiel makes almost no difference.

When your alone against the wind, there is a little difference, but not as big a difference as between smiling about the steel frame and feeling nothing about a carbon frame.

If you like steel frames and find a cool one, its probably 25-30 years old, and it will still be cool in 30 years. How many years would you ride a carbon frame?

Not to mention loss of value on carbon frames….

In my opinion Robs blue/white TT frame is the coolest TT frame I have ever seen.
