The Frame
Well I thought I got the wheels so why don’t I build a bike. I had a look at the Trek Speedconcept 7.2 but bulked at the price. So what should I do ? Well if I had the money I’d go for the LOOK 596 I-Pack Frameset but the 2499GBP price made me go for a planet-x frame (Planet X Pro Carbon Track Frame New Logo) with at 649GBP with forks. The frame looks fantastic and the reviews have also been very favourable towards the bike. So I thought why not the black colour will be a perfect match for my Wheels.

The Wheels
My current wheels are Bontrager Aeolus 6.5 Clinchers.

The Groupset
Then I’ve added the Shimano Ultegra 6700 TT 10 Speed Time Trial Groupset for 516 GBP including Gear And Brake Cabling. My thoughts were to order Dura Ace but I thought that Ultegra is simply good enough for me. If i had money or was an elite athelete then the choice would be simple but sometimes you have to go for the realistic choice.

The Other Parts
Finally I’ve added a Saddle (Fizik Arione Tri 2 – Kium Rails) @ 81GBP and then the final piece was the Aero Bars and this was the FSA Vision Team Trimax Semi Integrated Flat RBend that look great @ 149GBP.
