Bikes: unknown make TT bike, fixed; Romet Sport, gone; titanium Pinarello gone;Colnago with Campy C-Record/Super Record,on it's way; Funny Gianni Motta; Buehler track, Polrad track chrome; titanium MTB on 28'', fixed; Tri Wheeler, fixed

My steel conversion was slightly less than 6kg (13 pounds). The light stuff were old Dura Ace road cranks, old Mavic gl tubular low profile rims, carbon bianchi fork and a carbon seatpost. The bike had a front campy monoplanar brake operated by a cane creek tt lever.

The frame (road TT with curved seat tube, replaced dropouts) is 1700g, the wheelset is 2050g with tubbies. The wheelset was about $160 + the cost of tubbies, the frame was $80, the track ends it needed after the crash were $17. Total was $500ish, this is still my favourite bike - it is being rebuilt now.

I could shave another pound, were I not caring too much for comfort: I am using middle weight tufo tubulars (the lightest with an anti-punch belt), a pretty heavy saddle and reasonable hubs: Mack rear, formula front (the lightest fronts use too small bearings for my likeing).
