I'm in the market for a new road bike. Already riding a P3, which I think the best tri bike I can afford (<$1800 with full race setup)
Would like slowtwitch's opinions for what would be the equivalent road bike. I'm not adverse to buying 2nd hand, and am seriously considering Cervelo Soloist, both the anodized Al Team versions, as well as the pre-anodization painted Al versions. Problem is that they're too high in demand on eBay, so you'll never get a good deal there.
It's gonna be a race bike... so I'm not looking too much for comfort. Aluminum is more than enough for me; If I do get a carbon race bike, it had better be comparable in stiffness.
So what alternatives do I have? Budget under $1500 for framset and components? (I already have road race wheels...)
