Hello,
I have this desire to build a fixed gear TT bike. Obvioulsy I'm not looking to compete (are fixed gear bikes legal in UCI TT races?) but I would like to achieve a pretty decent aero position. Can a track frame be used for this application? I have seen pictures of pursuit bikes with aero bars and they seem (to my naive eye) to look pretty similar to a TT bike (geometry wise). If I'm way off, please let me know and I'll abandon this idea. I know there are a lot of smart people on here and I always appreciate their thoughts. Thanks!
