I've decided to take the plunge and build up a TT bike (hopefully) ahead of forthcoming club handicap series. Below is a list of what I've bought, what I had spare in the garage and what I think I still need to get.
My aim is simply to have a working bike to ride in 5 weeks time and I can always upgrade to 'better', lighter, more aero, shinier etc as I go along.
I'd be grateful if you could let me know if I've missed anything and if you have any of the 'still to get' bits that you might be looking to get rid of
New
Frame
Forks
Bottom Bracket
Chainset
Seatpost & Clamp
Bars / extensions
Brake levers

Headset & spacers
Pedals
Front & Rear Mechs
Wheels
Cassette
Brakes & pads
Cables & outers
Chain
Spare
Tyres
Tubes

Saddle
Brakes
Still to get

cheers
Simon
