I currently ride a 2004 Felt DA700. It has been a great bike for me, and I have ridden it since I got off the couch mid-2011. I think it is a little big but manageable.
While I am not actively looking for a new bike, the opportunity presented itself to pick up a 2009 Transition from a friend. I believe the frame is the right size, and i'll have ample opportunity to ride the bike before I make a purchase decision.
Assuming both bikes fit, I set up the Transition with the same wheels and BTA bottle, and my position is similar (yes I know that's a ton of variables), is there a tangible difference in aero drag between the two bikes? One note- I have a disc cover for my S80's and I hear that a cover isn't compatible with the Transition frame.
Thanks in advance for any advice. Picture of the DA below:
