Ok,
I have a nice road bike (Scott CR1 pro 2007) and I am contemplating selling it in order to finance a top of the line wheelset for my tri bike (deep Zipps).  I bought the roadie about a year ago and have ridden it maybe 5 times since the purchase.  While I do have a set of nice 50mm Williams', I borrowed a friend of mine's zipp disc and fell in love with it this past weekend and it's got me debating on getting rid of the roadie in order to gain some ground on the tri.  I am signed up for IM Saint George next year so i will be putting in winter miles...which is mainly the reason I purchased the roadie (are winter miles on a roadie easier than on a tri bike?). 

Anyway, what say you?  Any insight, advice, or overall observation would be greatly appreciated.

All I know is that disc wheels sound really cool when they pass me.

That really depends. Do you ride your road bike? I personally enjoy having both bikes, and know that race wheels are magic. I would say in most of us, engine work > race wheels.

Only you can really answer this question.

I hate typos. I meant to say race wheels aren't magic.

i'll buy your bike at the end of the summer :P

but seriously, buy a cover and blow past the guy who dropped $3000 on a disk a deep front rim. then sell the roadie to me for a little spending cash. :D
