Subject: 2003 Specialized E5 frame - Help

I have a 2003 Specialized E5 road bike.  Looking to setup as tri bike.  Replacing handlebars with new base bar and aerobars.  Are the dimensions close to a tri frame.  I also have an aero 2 position seatpost.  Any help is appreciated.

If you have an Allez, then I have the same or very similar bike. I used it for 2 years before I got a tri bike. While not traditional design for a tri bike, with the additions you are using you should be able to use it quite effectively. I love that bike. It is pretty light, very stiff and always works great! I have a pic. of mine in my album here: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/show-album.asp?...
