Subject: Best Tri Bike between $2-$3k
I am going from my road bike with aero bars to a tri bike tomorrow and was wanting others opinions on the best carbon bike between $2k-$3k. I am leaning towards the BMC TM02, what are your opinions. I also like the QR Kilo C, Seduza, Cervelo P2 and Felt B12. I am going to have it fitted so there is no worries there.

You can't fit all those... Get fitted FIRST and the buy the bike that is the closest to ideal for you. They're all good so you can't go wrong.

I'd put the QR CD0.1 in there as the more comparable bike to the other two. 

But - if you do that, then you're looking at 3 bikes that are all long and low, which would fit those with shorter legs and longer torsos.  So, you may want to look at a Trek Speed concept 7.x or a Specialized Shiv or if you're really long legged, a Cannondale Slice.

I went with the BMC TM02, it was an amazing fit. I road the CD 01 also but wasn't as impressed with it as much as the BMC. Thank you for your suggestions!!!

i am glad the B12 is one of your options i am very happy with mine... i have seen good reviews about B16 you might get it at way less than 2K get more funds for carbon wheels.

I like my Slice 5. Just seems to want to stay under you even when turning. It almost feels like it has another motor compared to my road.
