By "they" I assume you mean the pro's. The pro's don't ride this one, they ride the TT01. This (TT02) is a $1,500 frameset, the TT01 frameset is around $12,000. The new TM01 is just now coming out, it will probably be around $12,000 for the frameset as well.

I wasn't in a hurry on the Colnago, didn't plan on riding it until after Winter. I plan to race this one on Saturday so didn't see any reason to screw around. Spent about two hours or so building it up.

They are Psimets, built with White Industry hubs and Gigantex 50mm rims.

Thanks. Compact 50x34, it is the crankset off of my Colnago. Can't really afford / justify more than one Quarq right now.

Nice ride! I'm currently envious about the new TM01, but the TT01 still looks sweet too.
Next steps:
1) Wheel cover from Wheelbuilder.com
2) Latex Tubes
3) New tires for lower rolling resistance. The Conti's aren't bad, but some Vittoria Evo Corsa 320tpi's will round that out nicely (https://www.biketechreview.com/tires_...sting_rev9.pdf)
The compact is awesome as long as you like riding with a high cadence in TTs. Unless you are a genetic freak or there is some huge downhill where you need a 55x11 or something.

Thanks. It's the quarq that is normally on my Colnago.
Thank you.
Thanks. It really didn't cost that much since the wheels and crankset are loaners from my Colnago.

Thanks. I edited the photo's on my laptop, not the best way to do it.

Just finished my second ride of the day on the new bike and I have to say that I now remember why time trial bikes are so much faster than road bikes. I rode as fast as possible to get back to the truck so I could get off of the damn thing. This is going to take some getting used to.

Nice bike. But a compact on a TT bike? Really?

Thanks. I am only half the man you are so I only need half the gearing. On today's ride at 25 mph I still had about three gears left, I am going to have to get much stronger before I have to worry about a standard crankset.
Now if I had your money, I would probably go ahead and order a 54/39 Quarq for it.

Thanks. After the ride I went to pee and it felt like peeing razors. I will be ordering a new saddle very, very soon!
