I have two friends that are looking to buy new tri bikes with all of the bells and whistles they can get. Their requirements are almost identical. They are both looking for something around $5k with electronic shifting. The only difference is that one friend has race wheels (Zipp 404/808) and the other is looking to pick up race wheels as part of the new bike.
My first thought was Canyon Speedmax CF for the friend that needs to get race wheels in the deal. Is there a better option out there? Maybe something with a disc brake?
I'm not sure what to recommend to the friend that has non-disc brake race wheels who could theoretically stretch her budget farther by not needing to spend money on race wheels at the moment.
Thoughts?
