https://www.quickprousa.com/products/tri-aero-bar

Here we go, pre-order is available for "April". $600USD without base bar, $800USD with base bar. I wish there was a bit more info like weight or even what it's made of lol, but it looks nice. I'm strongly considering.

Keep us updated on the build.

Did you contact Quikpro direct? I wonder if Pandapodium would be able to help with the bars.

Im looking at making a custom plate from a local machinist so that I can have more adjustment and extend the bars out further. Once I have done this I will share the info.

Cool stuff! Nice cockpit, maybe an option for me also.

You did not use the original base plate. I did. And mounted the Winow Extensions. I notice some little flex on the plate. Is this normal? I never ride on a monoriser cockpit so maybe this is lilttle more flexible than a dual riser cockpit?

Adjustable? That bolt on the bottom of the extension looks to be on a seam. Maybe that can be loosened and the grip can be extended.

Yes, the extensions come with 10/20/30mm spacers that will make the extensions 370/380/390/400mm in length according to the diagram on the product page:

I finally got around to starting my build this week, so far it seems like everything is coming together smoothly. I'll go into more detail about the build in a later post, but for now:


I'm running a 140mm rear disc brake, so without the spacer for 160mm it looks like the brakes mount without coming into contact with any of the raised painted surfaces, which is promising. Haven't tested with a wheel mounted yet.


The 70/80mm wavy rims ended up weighing in at 747g (advertised at 760g) and the disc wheel at 1078g (advertised at 1030g). Came with two spare spokes for the wavy rims and rim tape.

my TT017 frame turned up a few days ago and i've run into a problem. i'm using a Rock Bros DUB carbon crankset with a standard road spindle, and a Kactus T47 DUB BB. The spindle on the crank sticks out way too far, too far to compensate with spacers. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong? I did some digging around and this is the shortest spindle in the DUB standard. According to Wheels MFG:

No more spindle lengths for use in 68mm or 73mm wide BB shells with internal bearings...For frames with a BB shell width less than 86mm, you will most likely need to use a DUB™-compatible BB with external bearings.

So since the TT017 has a 68mm wide BB, does that mean i have to get a T47 BB with external bearings?

Yep that´s right. Happened to me with a FELT B12 from 2014 with a 68mm bb wide. You´ll need a BB with external bearings if you want to use a new crankset. I´ve had no issues with it, it spins fast.

As per above post I managed to source the correct BB and now have completely built up my TT017 and given a few good test rides. Specs are as follows:
•   Size large TT017
•   Groupset: Ltwoo ERX TT
•   Brake calipers: Wheeltop (supplied Ltwoo were problematic – see below)
•   Rotors: dura ace (160/140mm F/R)
•   Saddle: Adamo copy
•   Chain: 12 speed dura ace (waxed)
•   Cassette: Sunshine 12 speed 11-34
•   Front chainring: 56t narrow wide
•   Power meter: Xcadey
•   Pedals: dura ace SPD-SL
•   Cranks: Rocks bros DUB 165mm
•   BB: Senicx T47 DUB ceramic external bearings
•   Rear wheel: Elite Velo disc (TPU tube)
•   Front wheel: Cannondale Hollowgram Knot 64 (tubeless)
•   Tires: Continental GP5000 S-TR (25/30c F/R).
•   Weight: 9.3kg.

Observations/notes
•   Fittings like bottle cage bolt and front mech hanger are branded Quickpro. Am guessing ICAN manufacture the TT One for Quickpro using a higher modulus carbon.
•   Since it came from the same factory, I purchased Quickpro decals just so I can flex on this bike with my friends. Much like Cannondale hi-mod frames, in my mind this is just a lower modulus TT One.
•   Paint quality was great, can’t see any imperfections with my eyes.
•   Ltwoo battery could not fit in seatpost or downtube, so I wrapped it in thin foam and wedged it down seat tube – it doesn’t rattle but will be fun to get out.
•   Cutting steerer tube to correct length was tricky. I erred on the side of caution and ended up cutting it one or two milometers too long (only realised after routing cables through). As a result it now pushes the plastic cover up so that its not flush with top tube (not a big deal). Think someone else in thread also mentioned this but would advise anyone ordering this frame to ask ICAN to cut it to correct length.
•   BB installation was problematic. I have a T47 16 notch 52mm tool however with the external bearings it was too shallow to fit over the bearings and reach the BB notches. Had to take to LBS who charged me $AUD65 for a 5 minutes job . Have now ordered correct tool off aliexpress for like $10.
•   It is heavy at 9.3kg but am not planning to do any hilly TTs. If I take out disc rear (that weighs 1200 grams) and use spoked carbon rear wheel I can get weight down significantly.
•   First time using Ltwoo electronic and am quite impressed. Bit of a learning curve to set up but the app (and shift indexing) is way easier to use than Wheeltop. I have noted elsewhere on Chinertown water ingress issues so I will put heat shrink over rear mech connector. Shifting speed is great, probably not as fast or accurate as 12 speed Di2, maybe down the line I will put a Ultegra 11-34 cassette on it and that will make shifting even better.
•   Ltwoo brake caliper with 160mm adaptor would not fit in front fork recessed brake mount. Replaced with spare wheeltop caliper.
•   Rear Ltwoo brake caliper had a sticky piston out of the box. First thought it was uneven brake mounting surface, but just replaced with the other spare wheeltop caliper. No brake rub at all now.
•   Bleeding brakes is really easy on TT brake levers without having to stretch rubber hoods out of the way.
•   Since I’m not running front mech, to charge the battery I will have to unplug rear mech, plug in front mech and then plug that into USB-C charger. No big deal.
•   Haven’t added up total cost, but without wheels/tires/rotors am guessing this cost me less than $AUD4000, which is a bargain considering a Giant TT frameset alone is around $6000.
•   Will add a front chainring guide soon for peace of mind.

I’ve done three decent rides on it and am slowly dialling in my fit. I sit in UCI height category 2 (180-189cm) so have set up extension reach to comply. Am now looking at the Winow ARB02 extensions (which I’ve been told by Winow will fit to the existing adaptor plate). Am still figuring out which size to order so that they don’t exceed my category limit (830mm from centre of BB to tip of extension). If anyone has any experience with this and knows what size ARB02 I should get please let me know.

Note picture shows 140mm SRAM rotors F/R before I changed to DA, chain has been cut (was initially too long), and front mech cable sticking out has been removed.

Is that white icebreak fading into grey icebreak?

Here we go, pre-order is available for "April". $600USD without base bar, $800USD with base bar. I wish there was a bit more info like weight or even what it's made of lol, but it looks nice. I'm strongly considering.

Hi Ssseebbb,
How's your build going?  Did you end up getting the Quickpro TR:One Cockpit? How does it fit? Does the option without the base bar comes with everything (ie base plate and BTA bracket for hydration mount etc..)

I just ordered the frameset and I am considering this cockpit as well.

Would appreciate an update from your build.

Thanks.

i know you are asking Ssseebbb for an update, but i thought it would as good a time as any to update my build (since i've changed my cockpit). I considered the TR:One cockpit but decided against it. I really wanted the adaptor plate it was mounted on because it matched the mono riser for the TT:One but quickpro would not sell to me separately. So i went and bought a Winow ARB02N extensions (size small) and used an adaptor plate i found on AliX that i just drilled out to match the mono riser bolt spacing. Not entirely settled on the position yet, and if i am truthful, i should have bought size medium, but i have ordered another adaptor plate that will hopefully allow me to move the bars forward a bit.

Nice setup.  I've ordered the same color as well.  The TR:ONE COCKPIT is available to buy separately now.  Just wanted to confirm that it will fit the ICAN TT017 before purchasing.

Where did you find that base plate on AliX?  What new plate are you getting?  Any chance of linking the item?

Cheers

no probs, the adaptor plate in this listing is what you want to get

the only reason i got a second adaptor plate is so i can move my aero extensions out a bit further. if you get the correct length extensions there is no need to order that one (it actually doesn't fit the mono riser at all, i cut it in two and bolted to the plate above).

[Big42mat]

I can't find the TT 017 for sale anywhere - anyone know why?

[meysow]

Forumers will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Quickpro got the exclusivity on this frame, you therefore can buy it only through them.
