Hi I am a 22 year old avid runner, who has recently been convinced i needed to give Tri a try. I raced 2 races last year on a Mtn Bike with slick tires. After a full winter of training, it seems i am in this for the long haul. I am ready to invest a little money into a bike, and was wondering if anyone could recomend a good bike and a good bike shop to fit me in the atlanta/athens/north georgia area.
Also, if anyone wants to comment on a great bike, that would be good to. I am abotu 6'4" so i figure i will not buy a tri bike. I have done some research, and think that i will problably go with a road bike with a shorter top tube that i could put aerobars on later on if i wanted. I think a road bikes seat angle would be more comfortable for training and for longer races (i am interested in getting out of sprints and into ironman distances maybe next year). Plus, being 6'4", the aero tuck just sounds like it will hurt my back
