Trek Equinox 7 vs. Cannondale IM 800 and other options for a brazilian triATHLETE

Any comments about those bikes? Wich geometry favors triathlon most (Trek Equinox 7 with 76 seat angle or the 78 seat angle of the Cannondale's), what about those differences if they are made for the same purpose? Wich components are best for this amount of money? Any other options for triathlon?
I am looking for a specific bike model and find those two models interesting as the Felt S32, the Specialized Transition Elite, Cervelo Dual and QR Kilo, wich one would you get and why?

Thanks, Marcos.

Anyway, from that list, I would go with the Dual.

Oi Marcos e demais companheiros portugueses :-)
Da minha modesta percepção aqui do Sul do país, você está restrito à marcas que possuem um distribuidor nacional (São Paulo talvez tenha mais opções do que Porto Alegre, ainda assim...) Exceto, claro, se tu pretendes trazer uma bicicleta de uma viagem ao estrangeiro.
A Cervelo é uma excelente bicicleta; mas das marcas citadas, acho que só a Cannondale e a Specialized tem representantes aqui. A alternativa, claro, é uma loja fazer a importação por ti, mas pagarás bastante por isso.
Alternativa nacional? Ainda que não sendo uma Cervelo (!), o quadro Mercúrio da Volare tinha geometria steep (77 graus, acredito, mas aparentemente este modelo foi descontinuado); com uma boa escolha de componentes e um guidão integrado nacional, tens uma bicicleta de crono ou triathlon por uma fracção do preço...

Marcos,

eu recomendaria a Cervelo Dual ou a Felt S22. Voce nao consegue um deal melhor pelo dinheiro. Tem varios threads nesse forum discutindo as diferencas, mas a conclusao e que as duas sao boas (a Felt tem componentes melhores e a Dual tem quadro mais aerodinamico). Procure um lugar que faca fitting ai no Brasil e veja qual fica melhor para voce. Eu tenho as duas, e estou bastante satisfeito com ambas.

Abracos

Marcello

I guess you've never been to Ipanema.
