How did they work that out?

The front brake is hidden behind the fork blades and on the rear brake the cable is hidden directly behind the wishbone stay instead of being out to the side in the clean air. Admittedly the canti arms are out in the wind instead, but this is pretty crude tech...

Hmm not so sure about that handlebar angle, lack of tape, dirty/worn seat, and finally the front disc reminds me the metal used to make ventilation shafts,

That aside still a sweeet TT bike

peas pudding, also looks too small for its owner and has a silly chain

well if they went for a larger frame they would have to reduce the stem lenght which already looks about 100mm so less saddle bar drop, but shorter stem. id say hes probably just a hunchback or built like flickwg and that frame size is correct

youre right it is a repost though

just noticed the head tube angle..
that was a road converted to track rite?

5.5kg of wheels !

Good compromise between light and over the top, i'd love to turn up on a club ride on this;

I really like this

Or could've been a custom build from the start?

YES fam.

I think I just drooled a little, mad stem though...

That said, where can you buy a 20mm tyre of quality, i have been googling but everything is discontinued or out of stock.

20s are going out of fashion, for the reasons discussed on the "Fat Tyres are Faster" thread. The Conti GP Supersonic is good for racing, get the current black ones not the old anthracite. The only reason for buying a 20mm tyre is an old track frame with ridiculously tight clearances or a Hed 3 used for racing, as it's about the only fast wheel which is definitively quicker with a skinny tyre.

Sadly the jauntly saddle angle is very much a NO FAM.

You wont be to happy when that rear wheel starts to rub against the brake pads, and finally against the chainstays,

Why would it? Build it properly and itll go years without buckling, its hardly even a low spoke count...

It looks as though the 650 front is not lowering the front end at all

Who cares, as long as it works...
Even with 24 inch front wheel

A lot to like; a bit to dislike.

You know perfectly well that the rationale for doing that on a TTT bike is irrelevant on a solo.

Originally a time trial frame, with track forks added. I really love the slightly more angled head tube, still incredibly twitchy and toe overlap is very large and a bit of problemo when riding it in londons twisty streets but I have sorta learned to time my turns with the adjacent foot being back.

I think Dave Russell made only custom frames? But im not sure.

Correct.
But who´s talking about solo...

No need to place a pic of Concordes, I think.

the tape is just a metallic grey, still there

Oh my god the amount of shite being bandied about as supposed insightful commentary on this thread these days is painful. Can everyone just go away to Sheldon Brown and learn good about bicycles please. Tester you are excused.
