Giant Trinity Advanced
Quote | Reply
Hi,

I've found a Giant Trinity Advanced frameset for sale for a decent price (€800), still brand new.
Color livery is the same as this one: http://www.stdatafeeds.com/...3a0c299ad35666a9.jpg
Right now I'm looking into maybe buying it and building it myself, but I have a few questions:

- How "aero" are these compared to for instance a P3 or P5, BMC TimeMachine,.. I can't really find any test results that include them apparently?
- I have a set of 60/90mm Flo wheels, 25mm wide (26-27mm at the tire). Will they fit?
- I've read the brakes have pis poor performance, which brakes do you guys suggest (non hydro)?
- You don't seem to see them a lot in triathlons, is this due to a lack of integrated storage mostly or?

Thanks in advance!

I've used it for time trials. I think they use the same frame from 2010 to around 2015. Plenty of clearance to work with. I used 808s with 25s and didnt have an issue. Brakes are functional. I would say they are a pain to get used to adjusting, but they work well for a non road bike when you get them set correctly. I've used it riding through nyc.

Its a fast bike. Not as fast a P5, but then again the price is way lower.

Its a super aggressive bike. Make sure that it will fit your position before pulling the trigger. That might be part of the reason you dont see them in tris.

What carrag340 said. If it's 2014 or earlier, don't rely on the geometry charts. Measure the bike in person.
