Member  47 |  Subject: Tri Bike for Bigger BuildI'm finally looking to upgrade from my entry level road bike to a decent tri bike. However, I was wonder if there were any tri bikes that have a less aggressive position. I'm heavy through the arms and shoulders and an agressive position puts a lot of weight on my elbows and gets uncomfortable after a while. Are there any bikes or geometry that would have me putting a little less pressure on myself while aero? |

I have a TT03 (xl) frameset I'm considering parting with if you're looking to build up. |

It does have a great comfortable titanium ride and good stffness in the bottom bracket. |
