TT bike build was created by Simon.R
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
