I am new to triathlon and planning my first full distance next spring. I am looking to buy my first tt-bike. Since I am new to this, I do not want to spend to much money (yet).
Completed my first 70.3 this spring on my road bike (2010 Merida Scultura 905) with aerobars. Even with a set-forward seat post I feel stretched and too far back on my road bike. I think I am also ride quite high on this bike. My bike spilt in IM 70.3 Haugesund was 2:47 averaging 204 watts (NP 233)
I am looking at a used 2012 Cervelo P3 in size 54 for about $820. I am just below 6’ 1" (185 cm) with an inseam of 34". Looking at the size chart, this bike seems to be too small for me, but when I testet the bike (just easy pedaling) it felt good. I think the reach on this bike is just below the reach on my size 56 Merida road bike, so I hope maybe I can use this bike. There are not many used tt-bikes in my area.
I attach two pictures of me on the bike and it would be great to hear what some of you think. Does it look too small?
