Subject: RE: Best Overall Bike Manufacturer - 2006What does best mean anyway?
A couple of you have talked about ride...it has everything to do with ride and fit and what might fit one person might not another. I've ridden a Pinarello SLX steel road bike for 15 years. Same bike same great ride mile after mile.
When I decided to take the plunge into tri I was looking for at least the same ride quality and lasting power as my road bike. Not wanting to be a moron newbie with a $4 K bike, I looked for value.
Despite the cult status, (that I recognize and originally eschewed ) the Cervelo Dual provides the best value I can find in these parts all the other comprable bikes were at least 3-5 hundred (Canadian ) more and most started with 105 components.
The other thing I like about the Dual, is that it can relatively easily be easily converted back to a road bike if it ever needs to be. That is a lot of value in my world where I have to hold on to a bike for a long time. |
