I'm reasonably new to triathlon and new to this forum - hoping for a bit of advice before I plonk down a wad of cash on a new ride.
I currently own an entry level Giant road bike which has served me well and will see me through my first 70.3 next weekend. I am looking to upgrade and have an opportunity to purchase a 2015 Felt AR3 at what I consider to be a great price. I live in the mountains so all of my riding is hilly. I'm not 100% convinced I want to go for a TT bike as a result so thinking a road bike upgrade is the better option. I know the Felt has the reversible seat post which gives a slightly more tri-like geometry. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on this feature? I know there's a few other mfrs that offer the same option on their "aero" road bikes so if you have used a reversible seat post in general, I'd still like to hear your thoughts!
TIA
