    Finally I found a Sirius lo pro frame in classifieds. Now it replaced the old raleigh frame. Now is my default training TT bike, while in race I use PlanetX Exocet 2. Both bikes have very similar setup

    if split I might interested in the frame set, but I'm located in Germany.
    Unfortunately I didn't understand the measure of frame size. What does 54 cm square size mean ?
    Could you give me any addition measures ?
    Thanks

    Yes, the roberts is what I looking for. Is just a little bit to big. Yes in sizeing I'm not sure at all. All i know is that my current top tube is perfect, so effective top tube should be near to this.
    I looking not explicitly for a vintage, but for this classic thin steel tubes.

    Thank for thins link, now i have to read a bit :)

    Hi, I'm Thorsten from Hamburg. Since one year ago I'm driving a Raleigh competition based TT bike and already made 2500km with it. In general I feel very comfortable with, I can really ride about 3 hours on the extension.
    I also joint one completion wit it. I have used a powermeter at this event and it turned out that it cost approximately 20-30 extra watts at 40km compared to a modern bike.
    In think the biggest issue is that it doesn't allow me a more aggressive position on bike. Due to the size head tube I can't move the handlebars further down.
    Fort this reason I think in replace this frame with a lopro. Unfortunately I hove no knowlage about this frames. I need some advice what I have to looking for.
    This current is 57cm (c-t) , head tube 15cm a top tube 56.5cm I think. I might need a frame with a sloping towards the head tube.
    Any hints what I could choose and is not very expensive. I no look for fancy brands, it just need to be functional.
    One other point, if possible I want to get rid of stem adapter, but I have now idea if quill stems exist with a small extension angle.

    Thx for any hints
    Thorsten
