I'm thinking of upgrading to a tri bike for a HIM.  Right now I'm considering the Felt B16 and getting some Reynolds Assault wheels or the Argon 112.  Does anyone have any recommendations?

Those are two very different bikes. Different price points, different geometries, different ride...

The B16 has a good aero frame. If it's a 2011, they've reduced the weight some, but it's not a light bike. It fits very long in reach and short/low in stack.

The E-112 has debatable aerodynamics, but is a very stable riding bike. Customers love the way it descends and while not light, but probably lighter then the B16, it climbs well. Fits shorter torso'd riders well as it's a shorter reach and taller stack bike. Riders accustomed to being too stretched out on a bike find it very comfortable.

I'm both a Felt and Argon dealer. I love my E-112. Fast, stiff, and very stable. Best fitting I've ever ridden. Looks awesome, easy to spot in transition. I love mine. The B16 is probably the best deal on the market... but I opted for the E-112. Both great bikes. Ride both and see what fits you best.
