    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-off sale bargains. When they're gone they've gone!

     

    During my stringent quality assurance check-overs before dispatching goods to customers, I sometimes (very rarely) come across items in a condition which I would be disappointed with if it was me who was receiving the item.  For example, the items might have been damaged in transit from the supplier ... or I'd maybe 'cocked up' something myself along the way (I'm good at that!).  Under those circumstances it would be pointless sending the item out to a customer as it would just create ill-feeling and result in a ball-aching job of returns and exchanges. Worse still ... total refunds! (Ouch!!!).  ;-)

     

     

    So ... in the last few weeks I've come across the following which I am prepared to let go on a first come first serve basis.

    ​

    One set only!  Brand new and unused.

    ​

    V8 cockpit. Complete with risers, clamps, extensions, rests and pads.

    ​

    Internal brake cable routing directly into stem ... please ensure your stem is compatible OR be prepared to drill alternative routing.  Or ... use on the track where no brakes at all are needed  :-)

    ​

    Clever little clamping system allows extensions / rests / pads ALL to be sloped up or down

    WITHOUT the need for expensive wedges. Anything more than about 15 degrees or so will need the 'creative' use of a file (not supplied).

    ​

    Base bar: 42 cms c/c wide.

    ​

    Can be set up with extensions either 70 or 170 mm c/c apart.  If configured with the extensions 70 mm apart, the rests WILL need to be 'adapted' by 'creative' use of saw and file (neither of which supplied).

    ​

    Weight complete:  750 gms

    ​

    ​

                                £199.99 shipped.

    PDQ PB aero stem PAPER-WEIGHT

    ​

    No … that is NOT a description of how light this little this work of art is. This IS a full-size full carbon ‘Paper-weight’ for the cyclist who has everything.

    ​

    Spoil yourself or buy it for your loved one as a Christmas treat.

    ​

    It’s based on our aero stem that was / is totally compatible with our highly popular and extremely reliable PDQ PB time trial handlebars. It fits the bars a dream and looks simply gorgeous.

    ​

    This is a ‘one-off’ without a doubt. 

     

    Matt black.  110 cms c/c weighing in at just 182 gms.

    ​

    For more info … drop us an email.

    ​

    A touch of indulgence for the cyclist that already has everything.

    ​

     

    £94.99

    Photos to follow ... but basically the same as the full set which includes base bar, pads, risers etc BUT excluding extensions

     
    I have had a number of customers ask if I can supply sets of PDQ tt handlebars WITHOUT the extensions (to allow them to fit their own steeper angled versions). 
     
    I have therefore set aside a few sets of both matt and gloss, with and without logos, at the one-off price of £229.99 (inc shipping)
     
    Steeper angled extensions, such as Use and Ritchey, are compatible and available elsewhere from as little as £24.99.
     

                                               Matt                                      Matt with logos

     

     

     

     

     

                                               Gloss                                   Gloss with logos

    Just a very few sets of PDQ full carbon GLOSS 38 cm c/c track handlebars ... super rigid, mega light and undeniably aero!

                           Yours for £99.99 shipped

    My very own Ice Cool Look T3 Fixed / time trial frame package

    ​

    I fancy one in a different colour so if anyone wants my Ice Cool Look 57 cm T3 frame, forks, seat post, headset, stem, front brake caliper and bars (less extensions and lever) it’s up for grabs.

    ​

    It’s in immaculate condition and has only been used very sparingly when the weather has been nice and I’m likely to nick a fast 10 (or 25) up on the F2.

    ​

    The ‘new’ site price is £1049 (less the bars).

    ​

    If you can wait a few days for me to dismantle it and get it boxed up, you could have it with the base bars / risers / clamps etc) for just £999.

    ​

    ONLY £999 shipped
