Trying a Tri bike today

[kacie tri-ing]

Not really much of a thread, but I am just super excited!

My coach told me about another girl he coaches who is selling her quintana roo kilo.

We are meeting up today for me to try it out. I am so excited. I am not trying to get my hopes up too much in case it does not fit, but if it does, then i will have my first tri bike

I keep on looking at the pictures he sent.

I recently bought a used tri bike from someone in my tri club. It's so much fun!

be prepared for it to feel twitchy and uncomfortable at first.

They are different creatures, but in a triathlon they really do help. Since I've moved over my run splits have been faster. I LOVE my rocket!

Anyway, hopefully she fits. Oh and one thing to warn, don't overpay for the Kilo. bonktown.com has had the seduza (way big huge upgrade over kilo) for around 1200.00
search backcountry.com for a quintana roo, and it should come up.

cheers!!!

I have seen that on bonktown a few times. What do you think would be fair? She is asking for $1000, but my coach said she would take less. I was thinking of trying to only pay $850 and seeing what happens. I know I should only try it if it fits though. My coach is coming along because 1. he is a great sport and 2. I begged him to come.

Depends on what year it is and the condition.

Thanks for the replies and info.....unfortunately it did not fit! She is 5'4" and it was too big for her, and I am almost 5'8" and it was too small for me! It was fun though I'll keep looking/dreaming of one!
