Your TT Pics

I am wanting to build a TT bike and was interested in what bikes you guys out there have. Once I have finished mine I will upload it too!

Here's my GURU CHRONO. Good bike, too big, though..

yea you looked stretched out. I can't tell from the pic but, are the pads behind the handlebar? is the aerobar too long?
Those factors can help to make you feel a little bit more comfortable. i.e. you may want to experiment with another aerobar/handlebar to get more comfy without changing frame.

Nice wheels though.

I'm playing around with the position as we speak. As I need (theoretically) to remain UCI compliant, I have to keep the nose of the saddle 5 cm behind the BB. So, I cut 3 cm off the nose of the saddle (to make it slightly longer than the 24 cm UCI minimum), and shoved the seat all the way forward on the rails, leaving me 5 cm behind the BB, but a virtual 2 cm behind it.

Then, I put a negative angled stem on, lowering the bars by about 2 or 3 cm. I also put some old Profile F-19 armrests on, which have more surface area and adjustablility to place the pad slightly behind the original position ( I have the one-piece Oval aluminum bars). I will probably be shortening the extensions as well.

The position seems a bit more aero, but it will be hard to tell before getting out on the road (I'm in Montreal, Canada). Unless sponsorship inquiries come through, I won't be getting a new frame this year...

One thing I want to do is to get myself set up with a good TT position on my road bike (soon to be built) since i can't really afford a TT bike.
Does a more forward seat position really improve your horseower?
I know that I need to lower the stem for TTs but i might also have to get a shorter one.
I dislike the current style of aerobar which has a sharp kick up at the end, are there any less angled types around?
As flat a back as possible is probably most important but are there any other tips?
The TTs i have done have been done with my usual road seat position which is a long way back (I have long femurs but I still seem to sit a fair way back). I have never done any specific TT training but it is a discipline that I enjoy (if thats the right word!) and am relativvely good at.
