Ostuni, it's time for a new bike!
Os, I got the itch to build a new bike, I don't want another road bike, and I detest mountain biking. so I am looking at this:
Don't you think you need a TT bike also?

Who knows? Perhaps the bikesdirect.com sale on Thursday will be a TT bike. If it is... I might be blowing my budget this month.

ElJamo, I usually ride a 56cm or 57cm road bike frame, the way bikes should be measured not the way Trek measures. I am also a traditional frame geometry kinda duy. If the top tube is <56cm I use a 110mm stem, just over 56cm and I can use a 100mm. Usually ride with 175mm cranks but am equally comfortable with 172.5mm and if forced will ride 170mm cranks. I think I will need a 55-57cm TT frame.

I think he should build a cyclocross bike, with an 14-sp rohloff hub, and some mods to fit a 10-sp campy freehub body onto it. Then proceed to make a 420-speed bike, just to say he has one 
.
Imagine the fun and the possibilities....and the WTF? factor

i like the horizontal drop outs. i guess you could set it up as a pursuit track frame if you wanted. what's the rear axel spacing?
