Having a clean dedicated bike for TT's is a good idea, but it doesn't have to be costly. I had an old Mercian track frame in the loft, originally bought in 68 and cleaned it up with a new pair of basic track wheels and used it as my TT bike through the 90's. My times were comparable with the previous gears bike I had been using. Since then, several upgrades, with new wheels, frame, bars - probably everything, but still fixed and was done over several years, so did not hit the annual budget very much.
But, I be will be turning Pro next year, riding for the Gov.UK.Pensions squad and am tempted to sell my soul to the Dolan devil and acquire something special for the "autumn" years.
Cheers Keith
