Time trial bikes

Well I've seen various time trial bikes dotted about on the forum, just thought we should get all the pictures together in one thread

I can't find any like this, only threads on them for sale and the discipline. I'm wanting to start doing a few local 10milers so looking to build up a bike for it :)

Let's get it started!!!!

The "Lo Pros, Represent" thread is similar,

Start as we mean to go on

Oh cool, I've just put my bike back to gears but here it was fixed -

No more disc now, back to rolling on twin 440s

Mine will be making it's way here very soon....

Maybe if it's your own bike, and you've got a current project thread post up a link? Or is that just sad?

Couple of questions regarding a tt bike, generally how much difference should there be from the tip of the saddle to the end of the stem compared with a road bike? (top tube length I guess??)

Any reason why you can't use a normal road frame? Anything else different to a road bike that's not obvious?

A standard frame doesn't have the saddle-bar drop there without getting strange stems. My bike is a 52/54cm normal road frame with a 100mm stem. I normally ride a 56cm What you want to think about is the triangle. Saddle/feet/hands, on a TT bike you rotate them forwards to make it more aero. You can only really take it so far without putting too much weight on your hands.

Compare these two for example - http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-us/bikes/model/trinity.advanced.sl/9009/48842/
