Time trial bike - advice

[Elainegib]

Hi all
Kevin [also now a 795 member!] is thinking of buying a time trial bike - but he needs some advice [pros and cons etc.] from any of ye who already use one and/or a short loan [couple of hours] so he can have a spin before making any investment! I have advice for him on the investment bit...ignored
Thanks!!

Hi Elaine. I have a TT bike, its size small. I could meet Kevin for a spin and chat on Saturday if that suits. Text or ring 087-9027617 if interested

Hi Mick, thanks a million! Kevin said he'll give you a call on Friday evening to arrange for Saturday.
P.S Tell him he doesn't need one at all

Kevin is more than welcome to take my TT bike for a spin. Its a planetx Exocet 2 - size Large - and as all the lads know - it's white, so it's faster than all those black ones

Give me a ring to arrange

Thanks a million Frank! I'll tell him to give you a buzz. Of course everyone knows that the white bikes are faster.

Hi Elaine, I've one of those slow black ones. It's an Argon 18 size large (equivalent to 56cm frame for height of 5'9 - 6'1). He's welcome to try it out anytime. He's an experienced cyclist, so he will have no issue on TT bike, as the biggest issue with TT's is control. Not everyone likes them and some people are not suited to them, but if he's keen on medium term triathlons or time trials, then it's hard to pass, but a lot of expense if not.

Thank Don! I'll pass all that on!
