Hi guys,
I've been lurking around gathering all of your cumlative knowledge for some time.
I've been doing triathlon for about 2 years now, and have just recently completed my first two olympic distance races. Goal for '07 includes 1/2 IM.
My bike is a hand me down Giant Perigee from something like 1987. I've put thousands of miles on it including a few centuries, in fact, i'll be doing a metric on saturday. You can imagine how much I've been chomping at the bit for something new. I pretty much narrowed down my decisions to a 06 Felt S22 and the 06 QR Seduza. I wanted to wait until the beginning of '07 to purchase though for financial reasons.
Once I learned that the MSRP of the S22 for 07 dropped 700 to $1999, I was even more inclined to wait it out.
However, there are some shops that are blowing out the 06 seduzas. If I buy one *Right now* I can have it for about $2000 said and done, compared to MSRP of $3k+tax.
Additionally, I would be putting a set of red HED Stinger 50's on it, that match the color scheme (as opposed to the felt).
Talk me out of it!!
**edit Any advice on sizing. I'm 6'2" 170 and about a 33" inseam. I would ride a 56-58-(some say 60) road bike.
