Kestrel Airfoil vs Scott Contessa?

Triathlon Forum
1

Great rundown on frames for shorter folks. My wife’s 5’3" and we’re in the initial phases of buying a new bike. We really appreciated the technical evaluations and recommendations on the Kestrel and QR. We can’t wait for the Cervelo review as well. Likewise, how can we see how the Scott Contessa stacks up particularly against the Airfoil?

Any reviews/critiques out there on the Contessa?

thanks, vmi84

Get an Airfoil. It is the most comfortable frame I have ridden. The Plasma’s seat mast thing just scares me. If you don’t cut it at the right length, you could be screwed. I know they say it has adjustability, but there have been many posts on this forum about the seat slipping down when it is not resting on the mast.
