Subject: My first bike? Specialized Transition?
I am a complete newbie to triathlon and am looking at purchasing my first bike. I found what looks to be a solid used 2011 Specialized Transition for $1400. I am totally stressed out over buying a bike as this is somewhat of an uneducated decision for me. I have read a lot of reviews for the bike and it seems a lot of people love it. But is this a wise FIRST BIKE? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

While that is a killer looking bike, I know others will agree that if you're going to invest that much money in a bike you should be sure it fits you properly. I hope those nice wheels come with it!

Does a degree or two difference between two frames(head and/or seat tube) really make that much of a difference when it comes to fit?

I'm not sure if one of these models is better, both are from 2009 aluminum/carbon combinations. I realize this is a difficult question but any thoughts as which bike is better for a woman?

I have a Specialized Allez Elite road bike with aero bars. It has the stock seatpost. I am interested in changing the seat post to one that is more forward. What would I look for?

Someone said that I would have to change in the transition area after the pool. Well OK, but it was maybe 45 degrees that morning. Yuck, all just part of the experience.

The start of the race I had the jitters. I was watching the other age groups start as they seeded the swim with over 1000 participants.
