The bike will be used for general riding and time trialling in the local 10 & 25 mile events. Any suggestions/ comments?

Cheers, Olly
Track ends Please. The eccentric b/b is mainly usefull on tandems to tighten the timing chain. You will be adding unnecessary weight if you do the b/b and not the track ends, and making the bike rather hard to sell if that occasion should arise.
