gummibear Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 TT frames are stiffer and are designed to be used with TT bars where your elbows rest on the bars so they have a shorter top tube and steeper angle on the seat post. http://www.bikesportmichigan.com/bikes/road-vs-tri/dia.gif
g-rex Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 They're also designed to be more aerodynamic in themselves (which is why the rear wheel is usually tucked in close to the frame). This is because they are designed to be used in non-drafting events.

multisport Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 MY BABY, EXCEPT RUNNING FULL DURA ACE. THE BIKE IN THE PIC IS ULTEGRA EROX SPECIAL TEAM EDITION
Jeepdude Posted March 1, 2011 Author Posted March 1, 2011 Cool - thanks for the info...And in terms of weight?Are TTs heavier then road?it generally accepted that TT rigs are heavier with all the wheels and wider frames.... but some bikes like THE black pearl and the canondale slice are coming in below 8kg. that is less than MOST average road bikes. BUT comes with a HEAVY price tag!!!
