Get the Roadie. Tri gemetry with road bars isnt that great of a mix.

Yeah, in your case I'd probably be on the roadie as well.

Roadie!!!
Tri bike with road bars is not a good idea. I asked this once to the guys at my LBS and they said they wouldn´t do it even if I asked them to.
Hyperactive Trifueler!!!! (I refuse to let the status go :p)
By now, everybody is probably sick of me asking so much about bikes, but I finally narrowed it down to two bikes.

for $1750
and

(This one would be with Ultegra and a road bike handlebar and short aerobars, sicne I race according to ITU rules)
for $1,700
Here's my question. Should I go for the road bike, since I am a newbie and live in a somewhat mounanoius(sp?) area, or should I stick with the tri-bike (even tho it has stubby aerobars)?
Sorry to annoy you guys with my indecision, but it's kind of a big deal to me...
