I started running triathlons last summer using an ill-fitting road bike that I bought used (it's way too long). Since I'm pretty much hooked on triathlon, I am looking to upgrade to a solid mid-level ($3,000 range) tri bike that will be great to ride now, and that I can grow into as I get to be a better biker. I am relatively short (5' 3") and have a shorter reach than other women my height, and I'm very concerned that the bike I buy be a good fit, as I've exerpienced firsthand a lot of the problems that come with riding a bike that fits badly. If anyone can recommend brands/bikes, I would appreciate it. I've been looking at the Felt B12 and the Quintana Roo Lucero and Caliente, and would love to hear thoughs on those, as well as on how they compare to other bikes out there for short-ish ladies.
Thanks!
Thanks!
