New pics of Prologue TT now that it is done.
Snapped a new series of pics for this bike as I listed it locally for sale. Sadly the one bike I have not been able to ride since the wreck is this one. The separated shoulder has healed but cannot deal with riding this bike. So I'm trying to see if someone wants it locally before I salvage all the new parts off and then hang the frame on the wall of the bike cave.
Figured I'd share the new set of pics here since I never really took any of it after finishing the build. I put exactly 25 miles on it before my accident.
It's so freaking cool!

Very cool build but a specialty item for sure. Good luck with the sale!

Wow!
That looks like a very specialized bike for a very specialized purpose!
And it also looks like that puts your body into a tuck- regardless if you want to be or not- and I can imagine your shoulders are bearing a lot of your weight.

I hear you. The shoulder has been healed for a year and is not getting any better. I was a grade 3 separation of the AC joint so two of the ligament fully torn and not surgically repaired. Best it's going to get I'm afraid. Just glad I can ride the rest of them and do Ok even in the drops.

True, I've even got the bars up a bit high on it to try and compensate but no.....

Just thought I'd revive this today to sing the praises of the bike. Had a friend doing his first triathlon and I mentioned still having this hanging in the garage. Told him he could borrow itt if he wanted to see if it would work out for him. He's the guy that bought my bright green Bianchi Campione and rides it to work a lot. Anyway he got the Prologue to try along with a more suitable Profile Design seatpost and Fizik Arione saddle. He used it for the event and placed in the top third for all age categories, number three in his age division. Good to see the old girl still getting it done.
I had forgotten about all the nice parts on this. It's obviously not going to sell locally and I can't see me being able to use it. So I think it's time to strip the parts and put the frame on the wall of the bike cave. Still.....maybe I should put on the new aero bar setup I had gotten for it and see if somehow my shoulder can now take it. Hmmmm.......

Why didn't tri-homie buy it? 3rd in age group on the first tri... sounds like this was meant to be his race bike!
