Anyone know of any contemporary TT bikes made in steel?
I know about the English one, all the other ones I can think of (laser,some pinarellos,etc) are all 10+ years old.

Asking because I did a bit of cutting brazing and filing and came up with this
got quite a few ideas,just wondered if I'd missed anything.
thanks.
Can't see your pics, but you mean like the Super Acciaio?

edit: Sorry. just re-read your post and saw TT! Will leave the Condor up anyway since it's lush 😳
not sure what I'm doing wrong.
that looks good,but it's not really specifically aero.

hope it works now.
just done two tapered steerer 29ers and that condor just confirms that they simply look better.
Very tidy work on that seat tube. The Condor's got profiled/formed tubes, easier to see from other angles, but true, isn't aero as such.
thanks,aero tubes are available stock from both columbus and deda,but it's not as aero as some of the plain gauge stuff from aircraft spruce.We've got a tube profiling press so squashing stuff is easy.teardrop shapes a bit less so.
Mercian?

Mercian:integrated seattube on steel ends up being heavier.an aero post like on the 90s giants would be better I think.
Or raise the seatstays like on the pinarello pursuit frames.
Really like that shorter.BUT none of these are aero..I was thinking more..[img]

had one in for a repair the other day,it looked a bit underwhelming in the flesh.pretty heavy too.
Apart from the gash paintjob and toptube I like the look of this [img]
