Does anyone have either of these bikes?
- BH AeroLight RC 105
- Giant Trinity Composite 1
Thanks,
FT

I think I once saw a P5 Cervelo mentioned at 7.8kg, but I can say my 54cm one is nowhere near that (it is 9.2kg)! Not that it matters, and it comes down to which components you use on it. Some saddles might be lighter than others, but they also might be torture devices as well. As it is, I can do 130+km on that bike and it is great, feels like you've not ridden anywhere or on only the smoothest roads. A good saddle and a good fit makes an amazing difference.toolonglegs wrote:Do people weight TT bikes ... Unless you can afford a Lightweight disc your TT bike is going to be s weenie

Thanks, I thought as much.thearthurdog wrote:I'm 193 cm tall, weigh 85 kg and (ahem) have a few watts at times. My Trinity frame never 'wobbled'.

My TT bike is heavier than my road bike but its not so much about the disk wheel but the frame, its almost like a carbon track frametoolonglegs wrote:Do people weight TT bikes ... Unless you can afford a Lightweight disc your TT bike is going to be s weenie

Wobble? I can push 240 watts for an hour. It doesn't wobble, probably that comment is more to do with bad core control than frame quality. It's a lovely bike....

You realise you'd be able to push 300 watts for an hour if it was red instead of pinkParker wrote:Wobble? I can push 240 watts for an hour.

Unless you have spent time in a wind tunnel or a large chunk of time field testing, I would suggest you can still find a lot more than a few seconds...mikesbytes wrote:I have pondered about my ride position, there's probably a few seconds in there but most of the improvement needs to come from increased average wattage output

I will pop a photo up when it arrives next week. Fit eh... I have had a road bike fit and I have all my target dimensions ... and I just know that is not what you mean! You mean I have to get a specific TT fit.dalai47 wrote:Still a fast bike* if you get your fit sorted.

Very simply, start by rotating your road position forwards around the bottom bracket. This means seat forward, probably up a touch and shoulders lower (which will happen due to the bars). Trying to ride a "road" position and just dropping down on aerobars doesn't work very well in terms of comfort or power.ft_critical wrote:I will pop a photo up when it arrives next week. Fit eh...
