So I'm interested in riding a tri bike

That's what I was afraid of. I'm on a Felt Road Bike now and when I ordered it it took like 2 months and a few weeks to come in. At that rate, it could take me a year to find something I liked.

My seat post now is turned around so that my seat is forward more. But I'm still not comfortable on it in the aero position. When I ride aero, the area right above my knee- the top of my quad (or the bottom, however you look at it) is what burns like nobody's business. After talking to Barqhead this weekend and hearing how much more comfortable she is on her tribike over her road bike, I'm beginning to wonder if it's the fit on the road bike trying to make it a tri bike that's the problem. She said she feels her bike workouts in her glutes and hips. I don't feel it there at all. I feel like I've been doing all this training and I am not any faster on the bike than I was, and my other two sports have progressed.

So, I want to try a tribike to see if it possibly is my fit with aerobars and my road bike. I've been working all winter on the trainer and about 5 minutes in aero is all I can take. Shoulders get tired, neck is tired, and nether regions hurt in all kinds of ways...

I may have to shoot Beth an email and see what size her bike is...

Thread Revival! 

I am pretty new to triathlon, but have been using BT.com to log my training for a while now.  I am heading to Shaw AFB in a few weeks, and was wondering if there is anyone who could recommend a great bike shop for a tri fit and purchase.  Thanks a lot in advance!

Welcome to the area.  Outspoken has a good selection of tri bikes and they can also do a fitting for you.  That's where I got my tri bike and I've been pleased with their service.  Harrels Bicycle World is also a great bike shop.  I bought my first and second Mtn bike from Paul.  Great shop with a friendly atmosphere.
