Okay. So I am not a triathlete and am not familiar with tri bikes, however, I have a special someone that I am buying a tri bike for for Christmas. Can someone tell me the basics on what to look for, what he needs in a tri bike and any other info that may be helpful in my purchase. He has been training for about 3 or so years and has been using a regular road bike. He NEEDS a better bike!

Right now I ride a very basic road bike with clip on aerobars. That's been working for me, but I know for a fact that TT bikes are far more aerodynamic and that their seat tube angles relieve stress off of the quads to allow the legs to feel fresher on the run. being a triathlete is expensive

Is there a proper angle that you should have you aero bars at? I purchased a used tri bike a while back and over time I've been making tweaks so it fits me well. So far so good except for the aero bars. I have them set fairly level but it almost feels as if they should be angled slightly down. Is there a 'proper angle' or is it more about the individual fit?

I have FSA handlebar (not round) and I am looking at getting some add on aero bar for time trials and triathlon Here is the model: http://road.fullspeedahead.com/fly.aspx?layout=product&taxid=222&pid=193 Do you guys know a company that makes aero bar with non-round mounts? Thanks

Hi, I am thinking about purchasing a second hand tri bike. I found a pretty decent bike from 1997-1998 with a complete Shimano 105 group and Rigida DP 18 rims for €250 (about $360). I have added a picture and parts specs. Would you recommend me to buy this bike given the price? (the appearance of the bike is not important to me) Thanks, Sander
