So I'm new to the sport, and I haven't gotten my first TT/tri bike yet...but I'm considering a Specialized Shiv (actually, I'm hoping my wife gets it for me for my 40th birthday in August :). Currently I have a Trek road bike I've been racing du/tri on, and a Specialized Rockhopper for MTBing and XTERRA racing. Anyway, I have a couple questions for the community at large:
1. How many bikes do you have in your stable?
2. Do you train primarily on a road bike, or your TT bike?
3. Did you ditch your roadie in favor of the TT?
4. Do you see the need for three bikes?
I'm the type of person that likes to have one tool for each purpose, but it seems to be a funny line between what to use the road and TT bikes for.
Anyway, input is appreciated!
