Hi Guys,

Do you know if there any differences between BMC TM01 Frame 2012 and the one for 2013. I tried to find info on the web but nothings came out?

Is 2013 bike frame already out?

Thanks for your help.

Cervelo test rides; goodbye aluminum?

Had good test ride of a couple Cervelos at expo preceding the Philly Tri this weekend. Although lots of high-end bikes were on display, Cervelo was the only brand offering rides; so, having never ridden one, I jumped at the chance to try a P3 (carbon/DuraAce) and a P1 (aluminum/Ultegra). Both had Zipp wheels. Unsurprisingly, I preferred the P3, the only bike I’ve ridden where it seemed absolutely natural/comfortable to get and remain in the aero position.

which bike?????YOu guys are probably sick of this question, lol

Hello

Ok so far I have narrowed down to 3 choices. My budget is $2500 total for bike, shoes and pedals. And yes i know does not leave much choice in that range.
So i have found a NEW 2009 felt s32(aluminum) for $1500
a new 2011 Trek 2.5(aluminum) for $1800
Or a new 20011 QuintanaRoo Seduza(Carbon) for $$1900

Bike crash...thanks, Bell!

My wife was on a 40-mile training ride this Sunday and crashed while descending a hill at about 34 MPH after hitting a sharp-edged patch of road. She flew off her bike and was knocked unconscious, hitting the right side of her head, forearm, and leg.

Good deal on used tri bike?

I'm considering purchasing a used Guru Carbonio/Tri from a bike shop in town. Not sure how old the bike is, it's black with round tubes, probably made within the last 7-10 years. condition is really good. i got the shop down to $1600, what do you guys think? Any other advice in the search for a used, entry level tri bike? Will update with more info on bike when i can

Experience with 650c wheels (or Aegis frames)

My bro (Captian Mal) is thinking of buying an Aegis tri bike that has 650c wheels. It's a killer deal, but I was wondering if anyone here has any experience with 650c wheels or Aegis frames. I know 650c's were kind of popular for a little while, but they fell out of popularity pretty quick. Is there any inherent disadvantage to them, or is there just no gain. Thanks for the replies.

Why are TdF riders allowed to change bikes?

A question for your cycling history buffs... Why are professional cyclists allowed to change bikes? What is the history behind that? Has it always been allowed? Can they switch at-will (i.e different set-ups for different segments of a daily leg) or just when the wreck?

Cannondale R400 Road to Tri Conversion - Need Help!

Good evening, all! I'm a new triathlete converted from a newish runner and I just completed my first Sprint Tri (The Topeka Tinman). I friggin' loved it! I'm 30 and I finished 16th in division with crappy transition times but a sweet bike time averaging 21 mph (and gaining 22 positions on the bike).

Eclipse Bikes, sold in Ottawa, ON at Pecco's

I gave Pecco's Bike Shop in Ottawa Ontario a visit yesterday. They have their own in house brand called Eclipse. These bikes look identical to all the major brands but I am wondering what the quality would be like. The sales ass. told me that they are manufactured in Taiwan. I tried to see if he would tell me what other brands were made in the same factory but he didn't know if there were any other (I am sure there are as they only have 2 stores and would have to go to a factory that already makes bike frames)

New Frameset: Opinions Wanted

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. I would love to purchase a Cervelo P3C but I think it's just beyond my reach. Thoughts on these selections? Advice on other framesets?
