It’s time for a new bike and I need a little help. I’ve been doing triathlons and duathlons for the past 3 years on a standard road bike with pretty good results. Now I’m ready to step it up a notch and buy a new bike and I’ve been considering something with a steeper set tube angle. Here’s my question I prefer sprint too ½ IM distance races with technical/hilly bike courses meaning the tougher the better, should I stay with a standard geometry or go with a 76 deg or even a 78 deg? I’ve heard if the bike is to steep it doesn’t handle as well on technical courses. I also prefer a compact style frame I’ve found them easier for fast dismounts and 700c wheels. I’m 5’9”
Thanks
