Grand Tour Time Trial Bikes

With the prologue of the Tour taking London by storm, we thought it would be good to take a look at some of the hardware used. These shots came from the Giro.

Wilier
Wilier have adopted a ‘one size fits all’ approach for their carbon
monocoques. The smaller riders have the integrated seat post chopped short, for the big guys its left long and the head stacked, It shouldn’t look good, but it does.

Cervelo
The bikes that still set the standard for specialist chrono velos, a new paint job this year looks even meaner than usual.

Look
Developed from their world-beating track frames with unique steering arrangement, not new, but still neat.

Ridley
Based on the Noah road frame with integrated seat post and a mean black spray job.

Pinarello
Some new trick details this season, as cool as you would expect from the legendary Italian builder.

Specialized
Some of the Gerolsteiner Specialized aren’t; that’s Specializeds, I mean, try Walser! Black is the colour for tt bikes this year.

BMC
Radical, we like them, cool colour.

Time
Great decals this year, one of the best looking chrono bikes out
there.

Scott
The ‘stealth’ look still works, but Viktor hates them!
