**WTB Complete Tri bike!! I have $3000**

I am entertaining the idea of purchasing a new bike. I think i'll probably need a 55-57cm frame. I am 5'11-6' and I believe I have a normal length torso. I don't have a set of racing wheels, so a decent set of wheels needs to be included (don't need extremely expensive wheels, just something halfway decent).
Let's see what you got! I have $2000.

It seems everyone has a cervelo. I want something slightly different. I like Felt, Quintana Roo, Blue, Trek, etc.

That is a good question, it's very light. I would think we could find the weight online fairly easily at least of the frame for sure to compare to other frames. I'll try to find out.

The only difference between Ultegra and Ultegra SL is the color. They are mechanically the same.

Oops, mm. The wheels are the hoops from a couple of Penny-Farthings from the 70's. The 1870's

Isn't it called the sheep syndrome? Just like if people see a line, they will stand in it? Also said, if every-one else jumped off the bridge, would you?

Call it what you want but I find it funny people chose to ride a bike that is slower according to data but less people have it, but to each their own...

And I always thought the fastest bike was the bike that fits the rider the best.

To buy a bike b/c of a name is about as bright as the light bulb that is our Congress if you truly want maximum performance. Buy a bike that fits, not a cyborg Frankenstein made to fit you b/c you want a fargin label. It's kind of hard to argue with fitting data these days....it just works.
