My wife and I are looking for our first Tri bike we are located in Canada so prices are quite different. We are looking the Felt IA 16 ($3799) and Cervelo P2 ($2900). Both of them have basic components which it just fine for our first bike. For the looks the Felt IA 16 looks very nice and we understand that the adjustment in the bars it is more flexible than in the Cervelo which can be better for fitting. Other than that it is hard to find the 900 dollar difference . are we missing something?
On the other hand Canyon it is coming to North America at the end of the summer and the Speedmax CF 9 suppose to be around same price as Felt but with Reynolds strike racing wheels and ultegra components . However, it is not for sure when this going to happen and even if this is going to happen at all this year. This will mean race this year with our road bikes and wait.
We will be racing 2 HI, 1 Olympic and probably 2 or 3 sprints.
What do you guys think? any advice?
Thanks
Edit: We went to the bike shop and both bikes feel pretty ok. In addition the offer me the Argon 18 117. Same price as Felt $3750 but this comes with ultegra components. I didn't. feel that the people in the bike shop were very helpful with the fitting, unfortunately is just one place in Calgary were you can buy the IA 16. Anyone has an opinion in the Argon 117? no many information out there about this bike.
