Hi all.
This summer/fall I am going to buy my first Tri bike but I have still not found a LBS that carries tri bikes that are in my price range (max $2.000) (I live in Copenhagen) so I have been looking into ordering a bike online to be within my price range.
I am 84 kg (185 lbs) and my height is 193 cm (6’4 ft). My goal is Ironman but for know I am training for olympic distance and 1/2 IM.
From www.competitivecyclist.com I did a TT fit test and I have been trying to compare the numbers they give to geometry from bike manufactures without success. These were the results from the TT fit test:
Tube Range 58.0 - 60.0
Stem Length Range 8.0 - 10.0
Saddle-Bottom Bracket Position 86.4
Saddle-Pedal Position 103.6
Saddle-Ground Position 111.4
Cranklength 180.0
Aero Bar Size L
Saddle-Aero Bar Pad Drop Minimal 11.4
Saddle-Aero Bar Pad Drop Moderate 17.5
Saddle-Aero Bar Pad Drop Intense 20.0
Saddle-Aero Bar Pad Drop Maximal 24.4
Pad-Ground Position Minimal 100.0
Pad-Ground Position Moderate 93.9
Pad-Ground Position Intense 91.4
Pad-Ground Position Maximal 87.0
The bikes that I have been looking at are:
Fuji Aloha 1.0 2010 - http://www.fujibikes.com/Specialty/Triathlon/Aloha10-(3).aspx
Felt S22 2010 - http://www.feltbicycles.com/International/2010-Product-Catalog/TT-TRI/TT-TRI-Series/S22.aspx
Do either of these bikes fit me if not do you know of a bike that would?
If any one could help me it would mean a lot.
