Don't buy anything unless it's Italian, carbon fiber, and requires a second mortgage on the house.

I have seen a lot of Blue's when I have been riding around atlanta - I think they are based there. They sponsor the UGA tri club and they look like pretty sweet bikes.

I would disagree with that. Once you get to around $2k there isn't much difference in bikes. Just find one that fits the rider's body type and riding style.
I ride a Planet-X Stealth Pro Carbon and it is a glorious machine. Website for the American distributor is:

If I could do it over I'd purchase a beyond. ([url]www.beyondfab.com)[/url].
SICK SICK SICK!
PM me if you want more info. And no, I'm not affiliated with them in any way except for the fact that I spent some time with their main dude at vineman, who was gracious enough to allow me to drool over all their frames and wheels the day before I had to ride on what I now consider my pos cervelo. ;)
Greatness is only achieved by those who perpetually raise the expectations of themselves to the point where it ruins their life.

ABSOLUTELY FREAKIN' RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!
This IS the truth. After 2 grand, it's all relative, don't pay for the hype.

Of course it's 'effing hard, it's IRONMAN!
What brand to you ride?
Other than the standards, what are some other one off brands that we might not all know/be exposed to? Example: Today I was introduced to Blue(http://www.rideblue.com)
Some background: I am going to be buying a new bike soon, and other than trek, felt, giant, cannondale and the like, I want to know what other brands I should be looking into.
Thanks in advance
