Subject: RE: Leader Bike Frames The difference in those frames is going to be the seat tube angle. The TT frames are 78 degrees while the R is around 74. This means you can get into a more agressive and aero postions on the TT frames. I don't know if there really is a right answer for you, other than what you think might be more comfortable. You can set either frame up with a tri cockpit or a road bike cock pit. You likely won't be able to get in the aero position on your group rides. Well, you can, but people will not be happy with you and it's not ver safe in a pace line. If I was in your position, I might go with the TT frame with drop bars and clip on aeros. Slap them on for tri training rides and tri races. Take them off for road rides. Then, when you want to go full on tri bike, you can change the cock pit later. I love my Leader frame by the way. Here's a gratuitous pic of my homemade tri ride: Edited by sesh 2008-08-17 12:01 AM
