out of these bike what’s the best overall bike?
2008 Qroo seduza size: 54
2008 kestrel talon size:54
2008 fuji Roubaix size: 54
2008 felt b12 size:54
2008 felt s32 and s22 size: 54
And i know it matters which one has the perfect fit for you.
Ps: If anybody has any of this bike I am willing to take a look at it.
Yep. That one you picked is the best for you. Why not start by figurein’ out what one fits you?

couple reasons:
1.) All of these bikes vary in price.
2.) Need to plan out how much money i need to save.
3.) Not that many bikes shops around me carry all of these bikes.
4.) I need to buy other goods such as a wetsuit
And why do you have to say “yep. That one you pick is the best for you.” I wasn’t asking for any smartass comments. Just some help from one athlete to another.
Go get fit FIRST, the figure out what the best frame sets will be for you…and then start shopping the frames that are best suited to you. If not, dont bitch when you cant seem to get comfortable on your fancy new bike. Would you pick out a few models of running shoes before you knew what size you were? Any LBS that measures your inseam and trys to sell you a bike from there is doing you a dis-service. Why dont you look here http://www.slowtwitch.com/dealersurvey/fistcoaches.html and see if one of the many shops are near you, get a fit then buy a bike.
Record10 is right - there is a pretty LARGE difference between, for ex, the QR Seduzza and Kestrel Talon. The Talon is really a 73 degree road bike geometry and flippable head with the QR a dedicated tri bike with 78 degree STA, low head tube, longer rear wheelbase, etc. Totally different animals.

Why thank you!!! I should have rephrased the question from the start but what I was saying is what Bike gives you the best product for your money. I know its most opinion but what bike provides the best materials. Because earning this money came from a bunch of labor and hard work.

sadly none of these shops are near me 
i have to drive up to PA or NY
Dude, if you need to go to PA you really should hit up David Greenfield at Elite bicycles. He is a heck of a guy, makes some very awesome bikes, gives the best service in the country - all over the country. You just could not go wrong, it would be worth the road trip. Or, if you need to travel you just cant go wrong at Get a Grip in Chicago, Michigan Bicycle Sports in Detroit as well as many others…but I would start at Elite if at all possible.
Didnt mean to sound like a smart ass - even though I am one…that is the most common question here, and the easiest to answer if you are at a good and respectable LBS that wants to sell you the best bike for you, not just a bike. Nothing is worse than spending a few thousand on a bike that just does not fit well and will then make you not enjoy the sport.

and with all these fitting all i hear is the sound of mad bills being dropped. My price range is less then 1,700.
Ball park $200 for a pro fit - then they take that off of the price of your new bike at most places.
