With less than 6 weeks to go until Master Track Nationals I've been spending most of my time either riding my track bike, or time trial bike. The track bike is fun but sometimes you need a break from the fixed gear! My TT bike is a 47cm Scott Plasma Ltd and the track bike is a 51cm Cervelo P3T. The Plasma feel so good that I wish Scott would make a track version, however, they don't. I've asked! My latest challenge is trying to make the Cervelo feels as good as the Scott... Which due to the difference in frame sizes, is challenging. They both have the same seat, a TT specific Fizik Ares with a short nose which allows me to hug the UCI 5cm rule. Hey, for a 5'10" dude I have short legs! Both bikes also have a Zipp Vuka aerobar setup. Tonight I rode the TT bike pretty hard for close to 2hrs which reminded me how good it fits, so I spent more time tonight measuring the positions of both bikes. If I could just take a hacksaw to the Cervelo and remove 4cm of frame, I'd be fine!
