Subject: Bike Fit this Tuesday! Down to two..

Have my bike fit at my local Tri store this Tuesday.  As many of you know this will be my first tri bike.  Thought about putting aero bars on my road bike, but decided against it I want to keep my road bike as is.  That being said thanks for all the great input from a previous thread.

Still trying to decide between two bikes.  1) 2009 Felt B12, or 2) 2009 Cervelo P2.

Have read great things about both, will come down to fit...luckily the store has both.

Any last minute advice?

As always thanks!

Get on both. They are both great bikes. I know many with Cervelo gear of all ranges and no one ever says a bad thing about. I will say this. Training behind a friend on the Felt equivalent 2 years ago I could see the bike flex as he mashed the pedals. He is a big dude as far as cyclists go. About 6' and 220. (he won't put down the weights to drop some lbs) Anyway, since then I would question bike girth based on your size. My two cents.

Another thing. All bikes are different and I think you should get on both and see just what feels right. Make sure you do your fit with your shorts on too. I hate when I see someone getting a fit in basketball shorts.
