Quintana Roo, Cervelo?

[minn]

Thanks everyone for your responses! I'm so excited about dabbling in the tri bike market.

Kermit- did you also get a new tri bike? I'm curious if you test rode any of the QR women's specific bikes and if you found them to be more comfortable than the cervelo? My guess is no...but I thought I'd ask.

It's probably not a good idea to go into my LBS pretty much set on a cervelo, I should be open to all tri bikes, hey? The cervelos are just so gorgeous!

No word about the Trek Equinox yet....?

I haven't personally ridden any cervelos, still deciding if I really need one. I have a great, light road bike I used for a sprint, that's all I'm doing right now. My husbands is being put together as we talk. Absolutely look at everything. It's all about the dollar bill. I do think that the cervelo P2C is a great deal for $2500 more or less. It's really all about the fit, when your in the aero position for longer rides. Good luck and keep us updated.

Well, the key to everything is fit... that said I have formed some opinions just on research...

I have not ridden any tri bikes yet, I'm racing on my first and only road bike for this season. But my LBS does have an equinox in stock and I have looked it over several times.

my personal view is that Trek made it too much entry level, and by trying to hit the price point its a little lacking in what I'd expect from a tri bike - namely better components and wheels, and maybe not an alu frame either. I might also want a compact double because everything around me is hilly... this bike has just the std double which would be well suited to less varying courses.

Basically, my thinking on a tri bike is it better be a step up in almost all facets from my road bike, and I don't think the Equinox WSD is (I ride a Trek WSD bike so this is nothing against the brand at all).

Everyone is forgetting about the Jamis T1, awesome bike! In my opinion, better then the cervelo. Right now, wind tunnel wise the top bikes out thereinclude the Jamis T1 and t2, the Felt ,and the specialized transition.
