Every manufacturer seems to have a TT bike in the range now. It’s partly due to the team issue carbon frames now available to the Pro’s who want a specialist machine, once they’ve made the moulds it’s a lot easier to produce them in bigger numbers. They ain’t cheap but they are light and solid, so if you’re after a PB it could be the bike for Christmas…

Now Giant’s carbon TT bike will have loads of competition from the likes of Bianchi, Scott and Time. Elsewhere TT bars are available in every flavour and like all the components at the show are predominantly made from carbon.
