Winter build-up

So this winter I am going to be building up a tri bike. What do you guys think of all the components so far.

Leader 330TT frame + Aero Fork
Campy Veloce Groupset(black) (record bar end shifters) (maybe thinking the new sketelon brakes also)
Profile Design Tri Stryke Ti Saddle
VisionTech TriMax Plus Integrated Bar
Cane creek brakes
Wheels- Hed3's or any other suggestions



Any comments on the line up so far? I think it will at least look sweet, hopefully ride nice and fast also

Sounds like it will be a solid TT/Tri rig.

I have the same Vision Tech bars and are great as long as the dimensions suit given the integrated stem.

Going with Campag may make it harder to source the wheels, especially if going down the second hand route... hedcycling.com only mention Shimano hubs on the H3's.

planning on getting. i have already ordered the frame, but nothing else. waiting for the campy groupset to come back instock on pbk is 172.5. Ya i dont remember where but someone told me you can get campy compatable hed3's but not sure if i remember where. Might just have to go with some custom built ones with campy hubs. Any suggestions?

You might try a Shimano 10 speed casette first. I have a Shimano wheelset that is flawless with my Campy 10 setup. Also, you can buy Shimano splined cassettes that are spaced with Campy. A third option is a Jtek Shiftmate #1.

Don't be afraid to go Campy based on wheels. It's an easy fix.
