    hello,
    I am looking to build my own carbon time trial bike.
    Why??
    cheap tt bikes with ultegra dont seem to be carbon.
    carbon comes in a dura ace and is by then a very exy in a package.

    TT carbon Frame $600
    Wheelset dont need already have
    Groupset (chainset/crankset, tt levers, bullhorn brakes, rear mech,
    front mech, bottom bracket/cups, chain, cassette, caliper brakes)
    DuraAce $110, Ulterga less
    Cables $40
    Stem, and seat bar $
    Handlebar Tape $3
    Tyres (700mm) not needed
    Inner tubes not needed
    Handlebars - need a tt handle with areo bars up to $400
    Saddle $80
    Headset spacers $20
    Pedals already have

    Have missed anything? Because for $2000 i can make my own carbon dura
    ace tt bike minus the wheels & pedals which i have. Why i everyone
    not doing this? Will my LBS mind tuning this kind of home made bike
    they haven't sold me?

    Is there anything that i need to check before buying a frame in
    regards to size Stem, and seat bar, bottom bracket measurements?

    cheers

    I have my components organised, just need seat, handle bar, and frame.
    Any recommendations?
    What size in diamteters should i be looking for, in regards to the
    frame? Is there a standard? In regards to size Stem, and seat bar,
    bottom bracket measurements?
    Should all frames take a shimano bottom bracket?

    I take a 55.5cm road bike, will i be looking at the same size in time
    trial bike?
