Hello,

I'm looking for a tri bike frame that takes 650c wheels...like the 48cm Cervelo tri bikes...or the 48cm Felt tri bikes. Let me know if anyone has one of these! :)

Hi,
do you already have a size 650 TT wheelset, and you look for a bike to use those with - or are you just looking for an extra small TT bike?
The reason I ask is that I currently have an extra small TT bike with 700 wheels, and I am contemplating selling it to buy a different TT bike. I would sell it as complete bike, with the original wheels it came with (I changed the wheelset to a better one which I intend to keep for the next TT bike).
Let me know if you are interested, thanks.

i'm looking for a xs tri bike. i prefer one that takes 650c wheels as i have a spare wheelset. i probably would not be interested in a complete bike as i have WAY too many groupsets, bars, stems, etc, lying around.

but...i'm curious...what bike and how much?

The bike is a Giant Trinity Alliance 1 (2009 model). Purchased in April, used a few times for training time trials, but never raced. The original wheelset (and cassette) is basically new because I mostly used a Campy wheelset with it. It came to about $ 2200 new (plus tax), and I hope to recover at least 1800.
It's a great bike, light, fast, and responsive. I just tend to like longer horizontal top tubes better than the Giant sloping geometry.
Here's the specs:

Good luck with your search.
