Need Help with Bike Decision

[jyyanks]

I'm so sorry that I can't help you as I'm a total newbie. Perhaps you can cross post (and let people know it's a x post) in the "open cycling' forum as there are more people that frequent that board. I'm sure someone can give you an opinion on some of the bikes you've listed below. Good Luck.

I'm no triathlete, but the SuperSix and the CAAD10 are on my list of bikes to try. I'm not familiar with Cervelo or Scott (though it sounds like you're leaning toward the Cervelo or C'dales).

Cannondale's numbering system means that the lower the number, the nicer the components, even though the frame is the same. If you can afford it, go with the 3 rather than the 5. Are you looking at the women's version, or the unisex?

Go with the bike that feels best, with the nicest components you can afford.

Have you also looked at Trek and Specialized? Spec is expensive, but they're good for those of us with short torsos.
