After receiving my new TT bike at the beginning of June, I had yet to use it in anger. I have been tweaking it to get the right position and training on it but it needed to be tested for real during a full on 10 mile TT. I am having real problems converting my Campag disc to Shimano and it is still not sorted. After a grovelling plea amongst St Ives CC members to borow a Shimano campatible disc, non other than TT legend Ian Cammish was willing to lend me a Planet X disc. He is a thoroughly decent chap and very generous!
I had entered the Fenland Clarion Open 10 mile TT event today. The TT was on our club course, so it would be a good marker to see how the Specialized would ride.
As it turns out, it was fantastic! A course PB of 22:52 and a second overall place in the competition.
I am thinking of selling my Campag disc now; any interest out there?

Very tempted.
It's a tub and I do prefer clincher, could be the deciding factor. Why are you not keeping it?
New Specialized is SRAM so need a Shimano compatible freehub. There is a conversion kit but it is proving difficult to source.
