i saw a guy with a mountain bike doing the cycling stage of a sprint tri! that was freaking awesome! if i remember right, he did quite well!

i've also seen a guy take a single-gear/fixed-gear to a tri. believe it or not, that guy KICKED MAJOR ARSE! dude was a beast...his $400 bike DESTROYED almost everyones $1K-$7K bikes...

which just goes to show you...the bikes doesn't really do jack poop...in the end, it's all you. every wonder why many kona ironman records and olympic triathlon records are from many many years ago on supposedly inferior bikes? that's right...it's the rider that makes the bike fast, not the other way around.

that being said...i'm ADDICTED to GEAR! must have all the blingy blingy bikes!!! LOL
