I'm giving the Giant Trinity Alliance a look. I tested a medium on a 20 k TT last week. It was a great ride, but I had to reach for the bar end shifters on the stock Easton bars. Aside from reaching high and far for the shifters on the ugly as all hell bar, the fit was good and comfortable. The HT is 130, and I could probably put a shorter negative rise stem on and cut the unnecessarily long and ugly aero bar down. The dilemma is whether to try a small size with a 1.5 cm shorter HT and 2 cm shorter TT. I'll be using this bike for longer (1/2 and full I distance), as well as the occasional Oly and TT. The shop doesn't have a small in stock, so I'd have to order it. I'm currently set up on my road bike with the seat slammed forward on a zero setback post with about a 4 or 5 cm drop to the pads.
Anybody else already go through something similar? It's no big thing, just curious for feedback.
Thanks in advance.
