Cervelo vs. Trek?

[kermit]

I think with the tri-bikes its all about fit and adjustability. I know its the same with the road bikes, but in the aero position, well first you lose some stability and control with the aerobars, and being bent over for a while well... it really should fit. And isn't the point of buying a new bike being able to go out and ride Everything!

Yes! that would be nice! But unfortunately, the only tri bike that I could go to the store and ride here locally is a Fuji. I live in a little town and will have to go 2 or 3 hours away to check out more. We have a trek/specialized dealer but they don't stock tri bikes, have to special order.

Because that's the only way you'll fit even the smallest Trek. Plus, do you want to have to coordinate your tri outfits to the pea green color?

If you can find an 08 Cervelo in your size, dealers have been officially authorized to go 20% off.

I'd personally go Cervelo, and it wouldn't even be a close choice.

Felt has a whole range ($-wise) of carbon tri bikes that are very nice. For a carbon tri bike, I'd go Cervelo or Felt; high quality and best bang for the buck.

yep, I'm 5'8" I ride a 58cm Trek Madone. But I'm pretty sure that I would be looking at a 54 or 56 Cervelo. 54 most likely. And the blue and silver Cervelo is really more my color scheme, well anything silver. Yea! loks of good affirmation! thanks! I think deep down I really want the Cervelo.

And I think that Mr. is warming to the idea!

My what a big bike you have! Friend of mine is 5'10" (she's all leg) and rides a 54cm P2C.

The Cervelo's price leaves you money for race wheels!

All good stuff right there. Ok, I'm focused on the Cervelo.. lets start shopping.

on size, the Madone is on the big side....I was fitted after I had it for a year and a half and told that I needed a 54cm. I've now ridden almost 11,000 miles on it and still love it. I'm long legs and arms and very comfortable on it. But I do think that I will benefit from the smaller size for getting into aero position.

I hate all the ads about Cervelos won at Kona. No - it was the engine on the bike people.

I have to ask - why do you want a tri specific bike?
