OK, I'm still looking at buying a tri bike for next season. My first instinct is to go with the Cervelo Dual. My other option is a Softride Classic, seeing as how Dan says I can get one for about $1600.
Here's my concern with the Softride: I don't want to be bouncing around like I'm riding a bicycle/pogo stick hybrid. (Let's not even get into how I just need to pedal smoothly, OK? I figure I might eventually get to that point, but I don't want to look like a complete idiot in the meantime.) Is there any way to limit the amount of bounce in a Softride? (And I know some people consider that give a feature, not a drawback, but I'm not one of them.)
Are there any other beam bikes out there that don't bounce?
