How much of an advantage is riding a tri bike vs road bike at events ??? Everyone reply and tell what you ride. I'm on a Trek 1500 road bike w/aero bars. Seriously looking at tri bikes!!!! My wife watched the race today and I think I might have the green light for a new bike.
I went from a Trek 5500 road bike w/ clip-ons to a Cervelo P2K TT bike for triathlons/duathlons. Both fit very well and I didn't see much speed advantage riding the Cervelo, although the Cervelo is more aerodynamic.
Unless the current bike doesn't fit, then move to another one. Otherwise, focus on improving the engine
That said, if the green light is there buy a new bike! I have 5 bikes and the wife doesn't say I have too many bikes, she says 'how come I only have 3!' I say more the merrier. Edited by stinkyhelmet 2008-02-09 9:04 PM
