Maybe I need to borrow some power pedals or crank and check both against each other.
Not sure what you mean by resistance on the Kickr, tend to just use Zwift so it varies.
So the zwift “difficulty” rating slider? And if it’s not 0, how much extra watts do you put out uphill vs downhill?
Love looking at the TT bike porn; very jealous! I’m just trying to wring as much speed as possible out of my old Argon, complete with flaking paint owing to turbo sweat drips. 
I’m pretty comfortable on it and I’m not sure a new frame is going to make a lot of difference. Maybe one day.
I’ve set myself a little target to see if I can set a course PB on my local 10 course. I rode 22:47, four years ago. It would be good to see if I could knock 48 seconds off that.

Just had a look at my 3 biggest recent efforts to compare power, I’m not too far off and I know I don’t push quite as hard on the road where I’ve got to see where I’m going etc.
Recent Zwift TT solo - 291W for 41 minutes, but this included about 3 minutes where I actually dropped to 170W at one point because some team of divs couldn’t get past me. HR was about 168, I might have had the fan on that night. This was on my Wattbike and a combo of the drops but mostly hoods.
Recent Duathlon - 245W AP for 68:30, this was a poor effort but TBF I’d overdone the 10K a bit and I know I was feeling it at the back end of the bike, but ~16k was on a decent surface on a motor racing track and on the road section there was a bit of slingshot etc. and going past traffic to provide a bit of assistance, I wasn’t sat in a draft though!
Today’s TT - 268W AP for 66:35, so only about 23W down on the Zwift session and it was 26 minutes longer, and it did feel a lot worse for reasons above. But that’s only about 8% difference on a bad day. I did slightly raise the saddle today as I think the hip angle has been too tight on that bike and I’ve not ridden it much recently, but did stay on the drops pretty much the entire race. Same course last year on the TT bike was 290W.
It’s a Giant PM on the propel and I calibrated it recently and the Wattbike should be pretty accurate as the strain gauge is only about 2 months old and would have been calibrate. I’ll need to see what happens when I get the TT bike out and either use the Favero’s or SRM.
As Jim says, I think you both need to confirm the power readings as they are fairly big discrepancies.
One last thing, my L/R power ratio today was 44%/56% L/R, that f***ing wonky left hip of mine, can you buy new ones

all you power wash crazies had me considering taking our power washer and bowser to the local park and power wash the path there - walking over the parakeet shit on it is getting more and more annoying.

Is that a shipping container?
Minus points for not being in the small sprocket.
Everything else looks good 
And nobody mentioning the net curtains?!

It’s fooking windy out this way 
Been messaging my mate all day…he’s been 80-60s slower than me, and I’m his minute man tonight, so we were looking forward to it 
I also had number 13.
It’s currently chucking it down and blowing a Gale!
Having ridden in ALL weathers this year, I’m sick of being cold, wet, blown about.
I’ve built my mental resilience thanks
