tri bike opinions Can't Post
i am in the process of buying a new tri bike and wondered if anyone of you have had any experience with any of the three bikes:

1) Giant Trinity Aeryn (sister to the A1)
2) Felt S32
3) Jamis Comit

i am on a bit of a budget and the guy is willing to sell the Giant to me for about $1700 (retails for $2100)...is this the best deal for my money? i would rather spend a little more now and get the best bike for the money than have to upgrade in the near future.

a little background: i am coming back from knee surgery, have two years of tri under my belt...i am not a podium girl, well yet ;), but would like to get stronger, faster, better, kick more ass...does anyone have any opinions on the bikes above or recommendations on any others? Thanks so much!!!

the giant, if anytyhing like the A1, is an awesome bike.

that being said, pick the one that fits you best. i am on a MUCH cheaper frame now (see 800 vs 1700), but the bike fits me much better, and i am much much happier on this one.

i almost went with the A1 for my new bike this year though, and probably would have if it was out a little sooner.

good luck!
