Is it time for a new bike?

What a great gift. My dh surprised me with my Ruby Pro in March.

How nice to see another Mr. on the board. :)

Without even reading the whole thread, i have the answer...

Its ALWAYS time for a new bike!

:p

And of the whole thread, the bit that caught my eye next after the title was in these last few posts...

Welcome MrSR500 :)
And yes, there are a few of here who time trial... do a search on the word/s and you should get linked to quite a few threads.
There is also one in the tips/tricks forum on tips for time trialling I started last year (I think) and quite a few TE-ers have added to it.

Its the ultimate race - the race of truth, the great equaliser, because all you have is you and your bike... I love TTs (can you tell?)

Ans like MrSilver says, they don't take all day and you can really measure yourself and challenge yourself

I looked and looked for a looooong time... where? where? where?
But I was looking for aero bars - thank you - I am enlightened! I have bull horns and aero bars so my bar-end shifters are at the end of aero bars, and the brake levers on the bull horns.

I had no idea bar-end shifters could/did go also on drops!

Seek TE for Ultimate Enlightenment!

V, what pros and cons are there to the 46 being your largest CR?
