Lightest TT bike frame with UDH?

[Sakizashi]

Hey all, thinking of building up a drop bar TT bike. Specifically looking for a lighter TT bike with UDH and the ability to take 2 bottle cages.

Ideally, it's UCI-approved, so it could also swap onto a TT cockpit for more traditional TT use, but that's not a hard requirement.

Right now, the Quick Pro TT:One / ICAN TT017 are leading candidates, but looking for some help casting a wide net.

Let me know your suggestions!

I would mainly choose based on budget and component availability rather than weight. In the end, for a TT bike, weight is not that relevant in my opinion compared to aerodynamics, fit, position, and overall integration.

If you are looking for a frameset to build up yourself, I would also take a look at these two:

- Velobuild TT https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005006122481415.html

- SPCycle TT928 https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005011719883001.html

Between the two, the SPCycle TT928 is the one I personally like the most aesthetically.

If you prefer something already built, I would probably go with Quick Pro. I recently saw a video from a YouTuber picking up his new TT bike from Quick Pro, and it looked absolutely stunning.

Thanks for the recs. I think for this kind of build—weight does matter to me. The credentials are sort of hard to tell since these frames dont go anywhere near a wind tunnel. As far as geometry, most of these will work just fine
.
For component availability the only hard requirement is UDH as I can do enough custom 3d printed work to make stems, bars etc for this project

the news 2027 cube tt, comes complete with sram for 4999 Euros...
maybe you can get a hold of one of these in your area...in my club, this is the mostly bought bike the past 2 years, canyon is loosing in this terrain massivly..

But the VB-TT-023 has UDH, so what's the issue?

If price is no object the qickpro tt:one i think is UDH and is probably one of the lighter frames. It is the same mold as the ican TT017 which i think is much cheaper but maybe harder to come across.

Not sure why this response feels aggro to me, but like read the title of the thread.

The thread was looking for the lightest UDH TT bike. The issue is that the VB-TT-023 is clearly not one of the lighter options.

I personally will wait a few years since there is no such option today. TT bike have been historically heavy and it's only recently that mainstream brand have been putting effort on saving weight (eg. latest swork-shiv)

The demand is not for a light TT bike but for the lightest, so there is such a thing as that

I think the QuickPro TT:ONE is currently the lightest TT bike with UDH to come out from China. I could easily be wrong though, would be happy to find something else myself.

and as i said, same mold as the ican tt017

Same mold - sure - but the weights are very different

MF CARBON LEHNA TT017 1250g stated!! Not cheap (around $2500) but lightest I know of. Apparently UDH, not 100% sure
