Bike Advice - Tall & Narrow - Slice/Plasma/Blue
Quote | Reply
I know my coordinates & I need a tall & narrow bike (Stack 525 / Reach 405). Commonly accepted for this theme are the Cannondale Slice, Scott Plasma, Blue T-14.

Though not quite as tall in my sizing, a Specialized Transition fits the list as well. However, I own an S-Works Transition, and I've had enough of the bike & Specialized.

So I'm looking for thoughts/advice/recommendations on what to buy (Please fill me in if I've left any possibilities off of my list)

In reality, I only do 4-5 races a year, with one or two rides max per week on the TT bike, so I'm thinking an ultra high-end bike is not the best use of my money.

Anything you offer is appreciated.

Look's 576 runs a bit taller/shorter than the options you listed, so depending on which side of 525/405 you have more room to adjust w/ stem length and/or spacers, you might consider it (the SM is 522/387, the Med 547/401). It goes for $3300 with a Rival group and Profile bars. So far all my customers have been very happy with theirs (full disclosure, I'm obviously a Look dealer...).
