Does anyone have any thoughts or knowledge on what are some of the best options on TT bike/frame sets in terms of performance? Like actual differences and not just marketing… I’m guessing that with the research and development that manufacturers put into designing frames/bikes that each brand is pr…

IME you can get into your personnel optimal position on nearly any frame. The real important thing is to train as much as possible in position for the type of time trial you will race. I wanted a more modern front end so, a bit more aero integrated bar/stem/steerer complex yet, didn’t want to brea…

[image] KorbenDallas: IME you can get into your personnel optimal position on nearly any frame. That is not necessarily true…especially if you prefer a “long & low” position. For example, it is literally impossible for me to ride the previous generation Shiv Tri frames. Throughout most of t…

If in the UK, Boardman TT bikes can’t be beaten for the money.

If in the UK, Boardman TT bikes can’t be beaten for the money. Unless you have to build one. The brake clearance with the TRP rear end is a horror…you end up having to shave pads to fit the current crop of wider wheels. The front isn’t much better. Cable routing is a nightmare…you end up kinking …

I’ve been eyeing the Argon 18 E-117 and recently announced E-117 Disc. A lot of bike for the money compared to Cervelo. I’m not into tris enough yet, so it’s doubtful I’ll get one anytime soon, but take a look.

My TTE 9.4 clearance is fine, no issues with wider wheels. Agree about the internals being a faff on though.

There are some pretty good deals out there on Cervelo P3 frames and bikes, particularly with the new bikes moving to disc brakes which IMO aren’t necessary on TT bikes which are rarely if ever used on steep or technical courses. P3 isn’t the cheapest but they hold their value well and you can build …

The new Argon 18 E117T Disc looks awesome! I loved my E117T (rim brakes), I can only imagine the disc version will be an upgrade. UCI legal for TT and very competitive for Ironman events without the big price tag. Personaly, I’m eyeing their new E118T+ Disc, which looks :star_struck:

The 117 is ok, but unless you go to an integrated front end as stated by a previous poster you lose a lot. Nice bike for the money, but I’d opt for bikes with better front ends.

Trek Speed Concept is a brilliant bike. The front bend is adjustable to an almost infinite degree. Handles very nicely too.
