Subject: RE: New bike or old bike?????????? IMHO it depends on how important that first tri is. The tri bike is going to be somewhat different than the road bike, you will be in a slightly different position with slightly more emphasis on your quads. You may not see a drastic decrease in performance but you may well only be at 90-95% of peak on the new bike. If theis is a "B" or "C" race then buy al means use the tri bike, provided your comfortable with the fit and your handling. You'll see what I'm talking about when you start riding the tri bike. The good thing is that you don't have to make a decision until the morning of the race. You'll haveĀ a week to test the bike and make an assessment |
