Hey Dave,
I'm curious to know whether in your experience if the IA (with it's massive down tube) is a much tougher bike to handle in a strong near perpendicular crosswind. My IA10 is my first tri bike so I have nothing to compare against, but in a strong crosswind I feel it can be downright scary. I ride it with a flo 60/90 and I realize that might be making it worse, but the other day we had sustained 20+ mph winds and there were times I was pretty scared to try to get in the bars when I was riding 90° to the wind. Even on the base bar I'd feel like the bike was being pulled out from under me. I weigh 160 pounds if that provides any context.
Thanks!
