giant aeryn?

That is it. I'm waiting for my horse stuff to sell then, it will be ordered :-) so hopefully in the next month or so.

I'm excited, I also feel that for the money I am getting a great bike, it is a composite frame, versus spending the same money for aluminum, it is aero, can't ask for much more!

Well, Emily, thanks to you, I got a tribike that I love. When you mentioned this bike earlier on this year, I thought I would check it out, as my road bike is a Giant. I've been very pleased with my Giant TCR W, so I thought 'lets see what the Aeryn is like' (also, this was the name of a favourite character on a favourite sci-fi show).

After I read about it, I ordered it (took 1 1/2 months to finally arrive and well worth the wait).

I've only had an 8km test on it so far because the weather here is still really cold and the streets are treacherous, but WOW! I love it! It is so smooth, fast, and comfortable. The reviews are right, the frame dampens the bumps a lot (and spring streets here are cold, hard and bumpy). I can't wait for my first Oly of the season.

P.S. All the guys at the bike shop were loving it, and a guy whistled from the street while I was riding it (it wasn't because of me <wink>).

Finally, I got out this morning to put a few more Ks (just 40--I could've gone on all day) on my Giant Aeryn tribike. This bike is awesome!!

Admittedly I don't have a lot of experience on other bikes, but the increase in comfort and speed from my 2007 Giant TCR W is extremely high.

I felt fantastic out there. The wind didn't bother me, the hills were fun, great control on gritty road/asphalt cracks and my husband was totally eating my dust on his tribike (Cannondale Slice).

If you're thinking about a reasonably-priced tribike or TT bike, this is the one!
