Hi everyone,
First time poster, long time lurker! I am a (slow) runner who recently decided to get into triathlons. A friend and I have made a stretch goal of doing an Ironman in 2024. We're both in the market for solid, entry level tri bikes that can carry us up to and through that goal. After scouring all of the information I could find on the web and comparing prices at many locations, I've narrowed my options down to four and would love some advice. I haven't done my fitting yet, but will do so soon and that of course will figure into the decision making as well. Assume that these are the base models unless otherwise noted. Prices are all-in including tax and fitting where applicable. Thanks in advance!
1. Quintana Roo PRThree, $2200, not from a QR authorized dealer (so I think the warranty doesn't apply, though the LBS in question claims it does)
2. Quintana Roo PRFour Disc, $2800
3. Cervelo P2 105, $2380
4. Quintana Roo PRFive Ultegra Rim, $2900
