After 15 years of being stretched out on uncomfortable road bikes with clip on aeros and drooling over the bikes I see at races, Monday I went to my LBS and got custom fitted for a Guru Trilite, complete with custom paint job (bright red with yellow logos.) They're telling me it should arrive in 3-4 weeks. In the meantime I'll start practicing what will become my new monicker,"On your left!" (Just kidding, I know it's the engine, not the wheels.)

I'm still getting over the sticker shock, but this is a present to myself that's long been fantasized about, thought over, and long overdue.

I was just wondering if anyone here at Trifuel has custom ordered from Guru. If so, how was the experience, were you happy with the fit, how long did it take, etc?

15 years? You are one patient triathlete.

They might tell you it's the engine, but having the right platform to deliver that power to the road helps a lot. That sleek state-of-the-art bundle of carbon and metal should also psychologically pressure you into pushing even harder to feel like you deserve to ride a four-figure bike!

This thread is useless without pics, but congratulations on your new bike! So basically you dumped the old bike for a younger trophy bike? A pop tart?
