I'm coming from a road bike background. I tried a Redshift aero bars and seatpost setup on my bike, and the position itself felt tolerable, but I was surprised at how squirrelly the handling felt. I'd say the road bike normally felt like weight is centered over the bottom bracket, and shifted into aero, it felt centered just behind the head tube. I didn't really like it to be honest.
I've not ever ridden a tri bike, would that geometry feel more stable, roughly speaking? Or is it just inherent to the aero position that weight is shifted forward compared to a road bike, and being in the aero bars will feel less solid?
I ask because I'm living right now in a place with flatter open roads, and was considering picking up a used tri bike.
