This has all been helpful for me. I am at the stage in the sport that I have been looking to buy a tri bike. I have been riding my Lightspeed with clip ons. I had a bike fit done so I think I have gotten all I can with my current setup. The problem is that I am 56 and am constantly managing "issues" ( I don't like the term injuries). Ultimately I don't know how many years I'll be able to do tris, but I should be able to do sprints for some time. I just would hate buying a new tri bike only to be able to use it for a couple of years. In that case I'd rather end up dropping my cash on a new killer carbon frame road bike. It is nice to know that if I go with a tris bike that it could live on - on the road.
