My fate is in your hands
We have a TT on March 8th open to the public/free and I would like to enter. Most of the riders are Collegiate level on $10K c/f machines and I am a Master's aged rider so I am already at a disadvantage from the get-go....
My top priority will be to JUST HAVE FUN with a classic steel bike.... But I would like to put in a respectable effort...
For this slightly hilly township/course I've got some gears lying around which I think should work nicely on a racing/low-spoke count wheelset that
Jon grinder of grinderbikes.com is going to be nice enough to loan me for the race.
I had hoped to use this Campy set:

Thoughts on that?
I Probably only have 3 bikes that are even remotely close to suitable for a competition-type setting:
91 Waterford Paramount OS Indexed shifting w/ full D/A
85 Serotta Nova Special X Friction w/ full Campagnolo Super Record
Early 80's
Mecacycle Turbo http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=512164 This one has the shortest wheelbase and top tube. Friction w/ mixed drivetrain
Although I don't like aero bars, I have an old Bridgestone set from 1986 that I was thinking of running just to help my time...I really don't want to but ummm....
Thoughts on that?
Which bike makes the most sense to you ladies and gents?
