I think these both make respectable road bikes, but I was wondering if anyone had thoughts on their use as tri bikes. They both seem to have a decent amount of trail, which makes me think that it might not be that bad with the aero bars on it (at least they would be better than my current ride which has a 73.5 degree head tube and a 45mm rake fork).

The Talon has lots of pictures with the aero kit, but is this legit or just BS?

I am looking at a bike that I can use for a while as my road and tri bike, so the variable geometry it attractive and the ride is pretty nice. I know, I should be looking at the soloist, and it is on my list, but I don't think there is a 56 in stock anywhere on the planet - and I am looking at carbon.
