Do any of you Time Trial on a steel road frame?

Great pics Old Ned. If it wasn't for that helmet I'd swear you had posted up old 'photos!

I did a few 10s last year on old steel but haven't started yet this season. I want to do some on the old bike and some on my modern alu bike. Still a road bike but with Ergopower shifters and a 1kg weight advantage. Don't think less weight and more stiffness will make any difference on a flat-ish 10 mile course. No tri-bars for me either.

Just out of interest what sort of times do people post for a 10 mile TT?

Are the riders on the modern bikes that much faster these days?
