I've recently discovered a crack in the carbon frame of my tri bike so I need to purchase a new frameset. I'm looking to spend about $1800 and have have come across 3 options so far: The Felt B16 2009, the Cervelo P2 2009 and the Specialized Transition Pro 2010. I'm looking more strongly at the Cervelo and Specialized.

First of all, just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. I'm a freshman in college, formerly a member of the track team as a hurdler until I tore my hamstring in January, effectively ending my hurdling career. That, plus a combination of a few other problems led me to leave the team. I want to thank the Good Lord for making me a Yankee. -Joe DiMaggio Twitter me: http://twitter.com/anthonymorelli

Ok, so I'm getting ready to paint my new bike (luckily I have access to an automotive paint shop) but want some input from my fellow trifuelers, so I'm taking a poll. I have some paint schemes below and want to see which one you think is best. The frame, fork, seat post, aerobars and even the wheel rims will be painted (except for the extreme outside of rim where brake pads touch).

Hi all! I finally got a permission from my better half to get me a sport-specific bike, and was planning on a P2C purchase until a recent visit to my local bike-dealer. I've been happy with the services and products they offer, not least because the manager is a bloke who actually knows something about road-bikes (but not necessary about tri-bikes;)).

I was writing a lengthy reply to "Your reason for try-ing" and somehow decided to look at the pictures... I thought this could be interesting for some. This is the progression of the bikes I used in triathlon.

Ok here's the scoop: I have sports-related asthma and I didnt know that until about six months ago when I was prescribed an inhaler. All of a sudden I can run and not pass out!!

My friend told me sometime last year that his dad got a bike that was kinda different and it'd probably interest me. It's shaft driven. And works. This kinda threw me off and it got lost in my brain's file system for a while and randomly popped in there today. Yeah, shaft driven bicycles.

So I've been reading alot about people's bikes and how much they LOVE their tri bike and how they're better for positioning and how easy it is to run off of them, and am completely amazed at the splits people are putting in on their TT bikes (26-27mph). Weary is the path that does not challenge.

Hey, all--

Hey congrats first off to anyone at IMLP yesterday!! My question is, does anyone own or owned a Leader bike? What are your thoughts? Are you looking into one? Any more info into them? Thanks.
