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-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.




CARBON AERO STEMS ...
Super carbon handlebar stem. 80 mm c/c.
These do NOT fit current PDQPB tt handlebars as the clamping area is slightly too wide.
They DO fit some of the previous incarnations and many of the integrated handlebar / stem set ups fitted to 'other' tt frames.
PLEASE CHECK DIMENSIONS BEFORE PURCHASING.
£135.00 shipped

PDQ “Campag-alike” rear 158mm track axle complete.
Includes 26 tpi 10 mm nuts (just look at the price of Campagnolo ones on Ebay!!).
Convert your old screw on Ghibli or Khamsin road disc wheel to a track version with one of these (you'll also need one of Harry Walker's 'fixed wheel converters').
Or replace broken Campag track axles / cones / lost track nuts?
I don’t THINK these are Campag as there aren’t any Campagnolo markings but they do look very much like Campag and everything is of tip-top quality … so these must be a bargain. Shirley?
Just £45.00 shipped.
