Make it as aero as possible.

p.s.: Lemond revmasters or whatever they are called seem pretty adjustable.

By triathlon specific I assume you mean replicating your position on your tri bike. I have the Lemond Revmaster and find that it is extremely adjustable and can exactly produce my TT position. Very well made and quiet.

Velotron is pretty adjustable too

Toro Performance

i have the cyclops and love it. i wish i had bought the one with the PM. However, it does have it's drawbacks.

there is no easy way to get an 'aero bar' position, you can buy the arm rests but the positioning is limited. I put a 2x4 behind the bar (cut out for the 'stem' and clamped it with some U bolts), put a board on top as a base and then put the arm rests on that with some wood screws. works fine but limits how low you can get in the front. low enough for me but not super, super low. note, rather than use the good armrest and destroy them with sweat i took a piece of PVC and made my own. works great. Also, i have the seat almost as far forward as possible to get a steep angle. so again, you can not get super steep without some modifications or long seat rails. i think it depends on how tall you are. i'm 5'11".
other than that it has held up great for 4 years and i do some hard sprints and standing sessions. i recommend you also buy some extra towels for the floor, you will leave a puddle. oh, and a big giant fan.
good luck

I can second the Pro300 PT.
My old gym had them. The best stationary bike I have ever been on.
By far the closest ,relative position, to my actual tri-position on my Blade.

In retrospect I will try and source one. Still trying to find what happens to gym equipment when they close down , dfintely the best way to buy one ,if available IMO.

agreed. i've never seen a 300PT in a gym. i bet they'd be hard to find on close out.
i've heard that if you watch REI sales and sign up for their mailing and/or get their credit card you can get about 1/3 off of retail. plus they ship to the bike store free and have warranty/return policy - just what i heard.
there is also this place i found doing searches. http://www.fitsupply.com/...0PT_p/po-cyc-spn.htm

good luck

Why not go with a trainer and get an old used triathlon bike, that way you should be able to closely replicate your seating position of your 'racer'?

X2 on this....when the bike I have on my trainer rusts away I go to close family and friends looking for old ten speeds. Most you can adjust to your fit on a trainer without worrying about handling.

Looks like a decent option.
