Can a TT frame be used as a road bike?

    Hi

    I own a TT bike that i no longer get use from but is a fantastic bike (08 kuota kalibur).
    Rather than have it sitting idle I was wondering could I use it as a road bike if I changed the handlebars?

    Any advise would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Seat tube angle would be very steep and top tube very short compared to a road bike.

    The parts are certainly compatible, so it could physically be done, I just can't see it being at all comfortable.

    I know the felt AR series and cervelo s series are like road bikes with TT frames, but surely they have a more relaxed seat tube angle?

    On the other hand, I doubt you'd have much trouble shifting a TT bike on to fund the purchase of another road bike.
