I had ordered a QR Tequilo back in March. Well they kept pushing back the delivery date, first a week, then next month, then two weeks, then.....well you get the point. I got fed up with dealing with QR and moved on. I got with my guys a the LBS and found the one I really wanted in the first place. Trek Equinox 9! Got on the phone with Trek and they said they could have it to us in 3 days! SOLD! Rode it yesterday after my fitting, and a little upgrading. Fast, responsive and fun to ride. I could tell a difference when I redid my road bike to a more tri setup but the difference between my road/tri setup and a pure tri setup is phenomenal! Man I can't wait to get home to ride today! I'm ready to race Memphis!

Congrats on the bike! I just got my E7 a couple months ago. Nothing like being the proud parent of a new set of hot wheels! They are great bikes, and you're gonna have some big time fun! My buddies complain that they cant keep up even when drafting :D

Thats awesome Kevo. Sounds like you are ready to go. It is pretty amazing how much of a difference a full tri bike really makes. Good luck on your training and post some pics if you get a chance.

Awesome Kevo...congratulations on the new bike. I just got my first rode bike after racing mountain bikes for years and it felt like a rocket ship. I can't imagine what it will be like going from a road bike to a tri specific.

Have fun...stone

Congrats! I can't wait to get a full tri bike but it will be next year before I can buy one. I have to take a rag to the LBS when I go because I drool on all the beautiful tri bikes, specifically Cervelo Dual, Equinox 7/9, and QR Tequilo. One day....
