Hi,
I am shopping around for my first tri bike, and I've narrowed it down to the Jamis Xenith T and the Felt B14. Currently, I ride a Trek 2.1 WSD, outfitted with aero bars. I used a fit calculator to get an idea of my "ideal fit." Basically - I'm short. Just a hair under 5'4, but I do have long legs (31.5" inseam). So, in both bikes I'd likely get an XS / 48.
In comparing the two, they have very similar components. The geometry is a little different, with the Jamis appearing a little more aggressive (but I do not know how much 1 cm means at the end of the day).
So, with all of that said, has anyone out there tried both and have an opinion of one over the other? Or, if you've just tried or have one of them, would you give me your pros/cons?
Thanks!!
