I have to choose between a Fuji D-6, Kestrel Airfoil Pro .
Edit: Assume that I can achieve the same fit coordinates on all three bikes using different aero bars to do so. This is bases solely on the bike you think is the most aero/fastest and best looking.
You’d represent them best on the bike that fits you best. They’re all vastly different bikes–even the two Kestrels.
do you understand the differences between these bikes? do you understand how it is you, personally, ride aboard a bike with aero bars? if/when you can say yes to these questions, the answer will present itself.
As others have said, FIT is most important. I’m happy to help pick your new bike or consult with your shop. All 3 fit completely different.
All things being equal (fit and components not being an issue) I would go with the D-6. Those are some sexy looking bikes.
Thanks Dan, I edited my original post. I’ve checked out the geomtries of all three bikes and my current fit coordinates are achievable on all three bikes. I’ll be out in several weeks and I look forward to learning more.
“my current stack/reach is achievable on all three bikes.”
i do not understand that comment above. what i mean is, i don’t understand what “your” stack and reach is. a bike frame has a stack and reach. these are metrics that describe the length and height of a bike frame. are you using the terms “stack and reach” where i would normally expect you to use the term “fit coordinates?” tell me what you mean by stack/reach, and better yet give me some actual numbers.
Hi Dan,
I posted my fit coordinates to my profile.
It appears that my fit coordinates appear to be achievable on the Fuji and Kestrel: Fuji D-6 size L, Kestrel Airfoil Pro size 59. The largest difference being the stack of the Fuji vs. the P2C.
