I'm getting a new bike! My wife just approved a the purchase of a new bike frame, a new carbon fork and a headset from Leader Bikes, and will use them to build my first TT bike! The picture to the right is from the Leader Bikes website, and will give you an idea of what the bike will look like.
I can't get my better half to approve all new components, so I'll be moving my 9 speed Shimano Ultegra/Dura Ace components over to this bike, and will put the original Shimano 105 triple components back on my road bike (a year 2002 Trek 2000). When I'm finished, the TT bike will have the following components:
- Bottom Bracket - Dura Ace 9 sp double
- Front Derailleur - Dura Ace 9 sp double
- Rear Derailleur - Dura Ace 9 sp double
- Cranks - Ultegra 9 sp double, 53/39
- Cassette - Ultegra 9 sp 12/25
- Chain - Ulegra 9 sp
- Aero bars - Syntace C2
- Handlebars - Profile Design bullhorns
- Stem - Ritchey 90 mm 0 offset
- Shifters - Dura Ace 9 sp bar end
- Pedals - Dura Ace SPD-SL
- Brake Calipers - Ultegra
- Brake lever - Dia Compe 188
- Headset - Cane Creek IS-6
- Seatpost - Aerus Composites aero carbon
- Saddle - Fiz'ik Arione
I've never fully built up a bicycle before, but I've always wanted to try. This will be a great project for me!!!
