Kinda what I was getting at is the open mold part.
The Ribble TTR is what the British TT champion used. It's out of stock currently.
I know each of those has been piloted to some impressive results in Britain. I just don't know if their frequent good results is more of a "cheap, more often bought" and by chance being decent enough in a strong rider's garage that it can win...........or......not.
I pretty much already run an "Exocet" or "PDQ" cockpit from the previous generation on my TT bike. The open mold base bar and risers with Aerocoach extensions and carbon pads on it.
Just kicking tires and curious. Also before everyone goes disc brake crazy for good maybe change out framesets with something I can use for a handful of years.
I suspect your view of performances and results is skewed quite a bit compared to what is happening on the ground.
Weldtite/ Ribble are probably the biggest domestic pro team here, and having a world pro level rider in John Archibald, and at a “lower” domestic level Si Wilson makes it look like they Hoover everything up, in a mostly amateur field.
They’re also spent a lot of time in the wind tunnel and bikes optimised by Dan Bigham , the bikes are possibly as good as they get for what they are, but it’s not the vehicle that’s doing the winning.
Look at the more domestic level winners and it’s a glut of p3c’s and p4s with a few trinity and plasmas thrown in there.
Rest of the pack can and is anything.
Don’t know anyone who’s won anything other than a club 10 on an e3
