Awesome thread. Nice bike! Did you go full rival or mixed? Where did you source the frame?
Maybe we could make rules of the thread that you post your sources so people can find the frames if they dig them?

I should note that almost everyone's bike here is Chinese, if they admit it or not!

Although not everyone's bikes undergo the same tests and have to uphold the same standards re: carbon layup. Ergo, some disintegrate and take out an entire field, others do not ;)
I guess tri bikes aren't as bad, you're really only endangering yourself. (Unless somebody's drafting off you, in which case, they had it coming!)

The front and rear derailleur and brakes are SRAM force. The crank is SRAM rival because it the only one I could find in 165. The chainring is a FSA 52T. I got the frame from Gotobikes. It should be pretty easy to google search.

Pardon the crappy cellphone pic:
Almost 2 years old. 3 70.3s, 1 IM, plus several shorter distances, still serves me well.

Serious question, doesn't all that stuff on the back act like a parachute?

To think I thought this thread was going to be about "Giant" road bikes.
No offense but whoever wrote those Chinese characters did a pretty shit job.

Ya, there is literally no need for ALL that stuff...I race about ~10 times a year for the past 3 years and have ever had to change flat once.

I keep asking the same things and have yet to see it. I only know one person with a Chinese build and it's a road bike. He's coming up on 4 years and rides the snot out of it.

That's just dumb.
Here was my first tri bike; rode it a lot for 2+ years w/ nary a problem. Only reason it was replaced was because it didn't fit.
