Been on here for years but thought as guest mod this month should show off the bike. Few mods over the years - new wheels a couple years ago (but old turbo wheel on rear in pictures), triple changed for a 10 speed tiara compact about a year ago. First proper time trial season in 2015 saw addition of aero bars and bars dropped. Then all time on turbo this winter meant new Adamo saddle and slightly shorter but steeper drop stem.

Oh yes and this week as well as replacing the original 110mm 6 degree stem with a 110mm 10 degree one I also thought I'd add bit of bling by removing the clamp that acted as a headset spacer and replace all the spacers with some alternating red and black ones for no reason but they were just 1.99 on planet X sale along with stem which just 9.99

What do you think of the Adamo saddle? How is it purched on the nose compare to a normal saddle?

White bar tape and the steerer cut and would look perfect.

White bar tape and the steerer cut and would look perfect. Totally agree, and bar tape might well be next purchase - even if white tape is a pain I imagine! Steerer definately would look much better cut and I don't like it at all....but just can't bring myself to cut it as no going back then (mainly v low for tt races)

I'd consider a compromise 1/2 way cut, would look less like a flagpole and still leave you a 'winter bike' option possibly with flipped stem?

I've got the same aero bars I really like them, especially the amount of adjustment you can do to fine tweek the set-up.

I see absolutely no reason why that won't fly! Particularly on the course I think you're going to run it on - when is its first outing?
