i've written a number of articles preparatory to a series, about to commence, on the bikes that are your best match, depending on your particular profile as a tri bike rider.
i'll center this around pad x/y. i don't rightly know how many articles this is going to be. it might be 4, it might be 20. we'll see where this goes.
way back when, maybe 15 years ago, i did this, and i named body types. long body roddy. spark plug doug. laid back jack. first place grace. longleg craig. and then described the list of bikes for each type.
now we've got a whole bunch of new and different bikes, and we have better tools, ideas, calculators, that can more accurately bind you to the list of bikes you might best consider.
i'm not going to write about every answer to this post. but i'll use some of your submissions as templates for articles. i'm going to use as an operative set of metics pad x/y. so, what i'd need are your pad x/y numbers, to the center of the pad, and then a couple of sentences about you and how you ride, such as, beginner, long leg short torso, mildly rearward, or way forward, overweight, fighting weight, a long time in this position, confident in my position, very much not confident in my position, whatever describes you.
