I might have a nice frame for you. Beefy aluminium frame with carbon forks (both brand new) with a long top tube and a short head tube.

Top Tube - 55.5cm c-c

Head Tube - 11.0cm

Seat Tube - 52.0cm c-c and 56.0cm c-t.

Seat Tube Angle - 74 degrees.

Cane Creek Headset.

I'm not too sure how tall you are now Jon but If the measurements seem OK then I'll send you a piccie.

AUK - think it might be a bit big for me - well from from what I've heard its better t ohave a shorter top tube than what you would normally ride on a road bike. I ride a 56cm road bike so I guess a 54 or maybe a 52cm would be better? but I dunno!

I've just been reading on the internet about frame geometry for TT bikes and read that TT bikes have seatpost angle of nearer 80 degrees.

Hi jon - See the other thread about me selling my specialised - will sell you complete bike for 300 or without wheels 200. Nice compact 54cm (50 c to c) stiff alu frame, would make a good tt bike (planned to do that myself to it at one point!) - comes with mix of dura ace - ultegra, Tiagra etcI also have some deda aero bars, dura ace gears shifters and tektro aero brake levers which I can throw in for 50. Alternatively I can swap the current front set up for the aero kit and then the above prices would apply.
Give me a call if interested!

Alright Davey!
Yeh that sounds interesting. I don't need wheels as I want to use my carbon aero ones :)
It would be best if the front end was swapped to aero kit.
The money I'm supposed to be having from PTW for all the entry fees this year wiill be enough to pay (if I ever get it!)
I'll get onto you once I have that money as at the mo I'm very skint!

Jon, just to remind you that if you had put your claims in monthly as agreed then you would not have been waiting for so long.
