Firstly thanks to Bodamus for the trade ;)
I needed a longer TT for O/S racing as the Kuwi Survivor is tiny and I kept bending seatposts (usually with me knackers :'( ) and banging me knees.
So here is my new steed, O/S legal Kuwahara Champion 21" TT and not a layback in sight.
I have not built this to be O/S purist, it is to blast (or gently wobble) round a track as it was intended.
Having raced 3 times now and really enjoyed the racing and the company ;) I deemed the frame change necessary

I've never see a 'Kuwahara Champion' before... is the head angle not too steep or is it the seat tube angle that's making it look shallow?

Si, that looks spot on. Don't think you have to explain yourself with all that purist bull. You've got the bug now and you want to kick some ass. Stack it full of carbon and Ti and lock'n'load baby....next thing you'll be snapping gates every Saturday with Bof and Keith Laird Fire Officer (Egan), come on Si, you know you want to. I'm sure you can trust Smithy to hold the fort with his excellent, if a little forthright, customer relation skills. :)

Very Nice! Peferct For The O/S
