Looking to purchase my first tri bike.

Got it narrowed down to the QR Kilo, The specialized Shiv Sport or the Giant Trinity Advanced. Solely based on what is around my area and not having to drive 2hrs to get a bike.

Any thoughts on these 3 or they all about the same?

THanks

Figure out geometry first. Go get a pre purchase bike fit which are usually free if you buy a bike at the shop.

Assuming the they can all fit you... of those 3, I vote for the Shiv. It is probably the best frame with bargain components. You can easily upgrade the components later if you grow with th bike.

IDK if a Premier tactical is in your price range and idk if it fits your fit coordinates but out of those bikes I'd put the tactical first on my list of bikes to buy

You're also "buying" into the shop. Consider the level of service, attentiveness & so forth.

I'd go with the trinity if it fits! The best bang foe your buck foe tri related with the 40 oz BTA built-in easily upgradeable to di2 best pricing between them all
