I am going to start tri's this coming summer (after getting burnt out of marathons). I need a bike. After a lot of internet research, I was leaning towards the Cervelo Dual. I went to my LBS and asked a lot of questions (ie what bikes does he offer, which bikes would fit me best, etc.). I asked if the Dual may be a good bike. I was told that the Trek Equinox 9 2004 model would actually be a better bike and it was was currently discounted. He stated it has better components than the Dual or QR's 2004 tequilo (mainly, better components). The guy seemed sincere, but I know almost nothing and just want to be as informed as possible. Thanks for your comments!
PS I was also eying the Felt S22, but he said that Felt is not usually a good fit for someone my size (6 feet 1 inch and 185 pounds).
Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
