I snagged the Small for the wife - hopefully it will fit…

I got one last week when it was up. It was $100 cheaper last week though… lucky me.

Yep, saw it then but didn’t pull the trigger fast enough… Did you get yours yet?

You took my bike and I want it back. Your wife doesnt need it and I do. No seriously you were faster , I dont know how, I was on that the second it was posted. Congrats!

We are kind of between a Small and a Medium for her. If it doesn’t fit her well I’ll let you know…

i have one, but not bought at this great price -

things replaced:

  • saddle, stock one hurt me. using an SMP evolution now.
  • tires, Conti Ultra Race, flat-prone, harsh at 100psi and up. running Conti Attack/Force combo, much, much better. be sure to get
    the black chili version.

things is progress:

  • smaller crank, from 172.5/53-39 to 170/50-34, trying to open up that torso/thigh angle and improve my t2
  • shorter stem, from stock to 70mm(i have a shorter torso.)
  • shortening the vision clip-ons - haven’t decided how much to cut.

This bike is really comfortable, fast(faster than my honked-up,
slammed, kestrel 200ems) handles well, shifting is smooth,
reliable. Mine came with Real Design Supersonic 60 which i
think accounts for a good portion of the comfort. A friend has
the San Remos which he really likes a lot.

Up again, with 40 mintes left, one large, one small.

and off again. i think they’re clearing their stock; if you go
here:

http://www.backcountryoutlet.com/outlet/QNR0001/Quintana-Roo-Caliente-Triathlon-Bike.html?CSP_ID=FTS_bcs_QNR0001

you’ll see that they have a bunch(84 as i type this) so it
looks like $1870 is around their ‘cost’ plus a bit. i bought
mine last august for $2500 cash, so y’all are getting a
good deal if you can get it at $1870!

18

Had to go with the medium and UPS wants $115 to ship the small back… Look for a small 2008 Caliente in the classifieds soon…

19

How much assembly is required? Picked one up last week at 1800 w/livesearch discount.

20

Have to assemble the front end (aerobars, cabling, etc.). Your LBS should be able to do it pretty cheaply and quickly…
