TT Bike on its way

I started rebuilding the 1996 Waterford TT bike today.  This bike belonged to Scott Moninger of Navigators and was given to me in 1997 by Ed Beamon.   Its been neglected the past few years but the goal is to set it up as a TT training bike that I can practice on before moving to the real race bike, AKA Hailey's Argon E-114.  I ordered a 10 speed deraileur and cassette as well as a nice short stem.  This bike has some crazy geometry with a 26" front wheel and seriously sloping top tube.  Its a 52 seat tube with a 56 top tube!   Hopefully I can get it close to the position I'll race in with a short stem.  Other interesting parts from Scott are the old Profile bars and a 54 tooth QBP chainring on Sachs cranks.
