OK, so the bike arrived last night. It's bee-you-ti-full! I will need to cut the steerer tube (I'm going to contact my fitter about that) and all the cables still need to be routed. I also still need to buy pedals but for now, I'll just borrow the ones off my road bike.
The odd thing? It came with a compact crankset! Why in the world would they sell a tri bike with 650 wheels with a compact? I actually topped out on my road bike (also 650's) in a flat race this summer with a 52T large ring. On a tri bike? There is NO WAY a 50T ring will be big enough! I'm now shopping for a replacement.
Anyone have an extra standard double crankset with 165mm arms lying around unused?
Once I get it fully put together, I promise to take photos.
