TT bike frame for everyday bike

Postby Rubicon » Sat Jul 05, 2008 2:12 pm

I just got back from the lbs and saw the new Specialised TT frames and was wondering what is stopping anyone from putting road bars on it and riding it as an everyday bike?

They look 'mean' but thought, would the frame cope riding UPHILL ?

I would appreciate anyone more skilled in this issue to shed some light?

nothing is stopping you doing this but I don't think it would be very nice to ride.TT's bikes have very aggressive seat tube angles to put the rider as far forward as legal.Very low front ends so you can have your aero bars as low as possible.
