If you were looking for the fastest tri bike for $4000 or under and wanted ultegra mechanical components what bikes would you consider? Assume you are about 6' foot tall and can achieve your desired position on a medium 2011 Shiv Expert utilizing 170 cranks. So far the possibilities I have:
Trek Speed Concept 7.5
Felt IA 14
Quintana Roo PRSix
Fuji Norcom Straight 2.1
Ceepo Viper
Specialized Shiv Expert
Other consideration include the ability to substitute 170 cranks and 50/34 chainrings without a big price bump, ability to pack it in a trico ironcase for travel and finally a cool paint job could be the tie breaker. Be interested to hear from others who own any of the above bikes or who are riding something similar that fits this bill.
