Ok I know it’s a long shot but I’m going to shoot anyway…I live in Oregon and will be visiting family down in Florida…(Satellite Beach) There is a Sprint Tri over in Tampa in a couple of weeks but I really don’t want to have drag my bike and pay the $200 bones to bring it with me…I’ve called the only local bike shops that I can find and no luck in renting there…So I’m asking my fellow Slowtwitchers for a helping hand…I’m willing to pick up and drop off and treating to dinner and a reasonable fee for your bikes time…Anyone interested in helping out?? Just for reference I’m 6 foot 1 inch tall and 180 lbs. I ride a 56cm Cervelo P3…Thanks in advance
Brad
P.S. I’d also be interested in finding a shop that rents Tri bikes too!!
i live right near satellite (suntree), but ride a 54cm specialized transition. would that work? when’s your race? i’m doin imfl on nov 3rd, so that weekend’s out
Are you for real…I knew that the “Tri family” thing was real…but not this real!!! Your awesome!! I’m planning on doing the Suncoast Tri on the 27th I’ll be down in Satellite Beach on the 23rd. I’m sure I could make a 54 fit for a sprint distance race…I won’t even change your bike setup…well maybe the seat height…if your shorter or taller than me!!! AHAHA Let me know what you would like for offering such a nice gesture…
This is why I LOVE Triathlon in General…I’m willling to take anything…I don’t want to inconvience anyone so if you have extras that would be sweet…feel free to e-mail me your personal info and I can call you or e-mail you back to setup the details bhbh5@hotmail.com
I live here in Tampa and have a 51 P3 that is too small for you but I’d pony it up if you needed it for some really weird reason. Looks like the gents above are taking good care of you already.
And if you need anything while here in Tampa, shoot me a PM and I’ll host best I can. As for LBS, try Florida Bicycle Sports. I know they have rentals there also and they will treat you like family.
I have a 56 P3 you can use. I am about an hour away from Tampa with a zipp disc and front 404.

Damn, you rock.
I was just telling my girlfriend who is just now getting into the sport how supportive, friendly, and generous everyone in the Tri community is. You guys are awesome.
A few years ago, I was asking a question about HRM’s and looking for one on the classifieds of ST and some guy just mailed me his old one free of charge. Told me to pass the favor along one day. Love this sport and the peeps involved.
Hi there, I own Outspokin in Florida. www.outspokin.net, we rent tri bikes.
Give us a call 727-518-2329
Hey Val,
I called your shop and the guy I talked to said that the only bike in a 56 was a specialized road bike left for that weekend…that is why I started this thread…is there something that he didn’t tell me?? and unless you guys carry Cervelo I’m guessing I’ll be Stealing or bribing or whatever it takes to use the one just listed above…THanks
