| New user 170 | Subject: RE: Quick! Quick! What are You Riding? Just got back into it. Figured a road bike (no aerobars) would be best as that was what I rode most, other than a mountain bike. If I'm still doing triathlons, and training enough, in a year or so I may get a triathlon bike. Right now, working on the engine is the most important part. I'll worry about a better bike after I'm in shape to make use of it. |

Member 16 | Subject: RE: Quick! Quick! What are You Riding? I will be riding a roadie without aerobars. Still in training for my first tri. Lots of miles so far but no race. Figured I'd wait and see how I do then invest in the future in a tri bike. |

Pro 5892 , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Quick! Quick! What are You Riding? I voted tri bike, but it actually depends on the race... For most races, tri bike with deep front and disc rear. I do have a few races that I actually do on my road bike (wirhou areo bars) and deep front/rear, due to climbing and technical nature of the race. Edited by audiojan 2012-08-27 12:11 PM |

Veteran 220 Hudsonville, MI | Subject: RE: Quick! Quick! What are You Riding? I started off riding a borrowed road bike, then bought my own road bike and added aerobars. Last year, at the end of my season, I bought a new TT bike (Cervelo P4) from a Pro who switched sponsors. I really liked my road bike but there is no comparison with my TT bike. |

Expert 1035 lake forest, California | Subject: RE: Quick! Quick! What are You Riding? I started with a road bike, then put clip on aero's on it for a few seasons. Then I bought a nice P3 Cervelo and loooved it. With IM training on long rides the roadie just made more sense. Nowadays i've sold the P3 and ride my roadie for everything and love it. |

Master 1526 Bolivia, NC | Subject: RE: Quick! Quick! What are You Riding? lmwel - 2012-08-27 2:49 PM In my first six triathlons I rode my Giant road bike, the last four with aerobars. In eight weeks I will ride my first race on my new Cervelo P2. I can't wait!!! That's what I'm riding, a Giant TCR C3 with aerobars. But I'd love to get a tri bike. Maybe next year. That reminds me, I'm going to raise my seat a bit and bring it forward a bit to open my hip angle up a little more. Hopefully I'll get a fit with my new tri-bike. |
