New Triathlon Bike Shopping
Monday, June 29th, 2009
I’ve been waiting to write this post for almost two years now. I’m surprised I didn’t already have a draft saved and waiting to publish.
After some some financial gymnastics, and feeling pretty secure with my job (which alone is worth a celebration in this economy), I’ve decided to upgrade from the trusty ‘ol Fuji Ace to a dedicated tri bike just in time for Timberman! My first ever. Like the ones the REAL triathletes ride! For real!
I’ve taken short test rides on the Specialized Transition and Cervelo P2, but the Felt B12 and Scott Plasma are too sexy not to be up for consideration.
In the next few weeks I’ll be making my rounds around a few of the local tri shops, taking diligent notes before I bring home my new sexy ride (and figure out how to ride in aero bars). So, if you have any advice or recomendations, chime in now! I’m not even sure I know the right questions to ask when shopping around.
Oh, did I mention I’m PUMPED! New toy!!
