Ian Cammish: Time Trialling 'Legend' / 'icon' / 'wannabe' / 'has-been' / whatever floats your boat.
The what, why and wherefore of British Time Trialling as seen through the eyes of me … Ian Cammish, holder of over 50 National Cycling Championships and Records. Or ... the aftermath of an extended college project, “how to create a web-site” by son Jack, aged 17, Hills Road College, Cambridge. (I think winning and breaking over 50 National Championships and records were easier!).
“I could write a book” I said. But Peter Whitfield, author of Twelve Champions, The Condor Years and more, told me “there’s no money in it” so for anyone who’s interested here’s a totally free, unexpurgated insight into time trialling through the ages from yours truly … Ian Cammish aged 55 ¼.
Over the forty-plus years I've been cycling, a lot of influential people have helped me achieve what I set out to do but inevitably, over the period of time, we have all each gone our own separate ways. This is just one way of expressing my gratitude to you all. If it also brings back fond memories of yesteryear to any time trialling enthusiasts who happen to stumble on the site, then so much the better :-)
One set of new PDQ bars complete with new PDQ PB logos.
To be honest (I always like to be upfront and don't really want anyone returning them) … these bars were found to have a very slight mark on the top of the base bar. Not a scratch … but looks like a pencil line (which it isn’t!). In an attempt to hide the mark I decided to fix some logos which I think look quite good (hope you agree?). Not sure how permanent the lettering will be but if you don’t like … you can peel it off.
The mark is across the 'b' in 'pb'. Only noticeable in a certain light ... as the photos show :-).
In addition, one of the extension clamps had to be carefully ‘modified’ to fit the riser. This involved the careful use of a fine file by yours truly. Everything now fits just as it should do and no file work is evident when everything is slotted together, in place and ready to go.
Take a look at the photos and see what you think.
All brand new complete with risers, bolts and pads.
