Im still torn between throughing aero's on my roadie, or going with a Cervelo P2C, or Felt B12 not entry level but the recommendations where to get something decent just going up $500 or so.  Thanks to all your advice on the previous thread!  Great Help There!!

Dont think I will sell my road bike, but can fund the tri bike via selling one of my guitar...lol, but true.

My question is while looking on line how do I know what size tri bike to get?  Is there an easy calculation.  Im 6"00, and about 180.

What sites do you guys recommend to buy from?  Is it ok to get something off of ebay?  Just suck it up and pay a bit extra from my LBS?

Thanks again!!

There was another thread on here which listed a pretty killer deal. 

$1199  for a new P2 SL.  The only sizes left are a 58 and 61 which might just fit you.

And, while there is no simple calculation, the same site has a tool where you can input a half-dozen measurements and get info about what should fit.
