What road bikes are good for triathlon and road racing?

I know that the Cervelo Soloist can easily be used for triathlons. What other bike manufacturers bikes have the road geometry that can easily be used for triathlons? (just add shorty aerobars) Cervelo? Felt? Kestrel? Giant? Specialized? I have a Raleigh Competition Road bike *(53cm) with Jammer Gt’s right now, but am thinking about upgrading to another bike. But I don’t want a pure tri-bike. I want a lighter, well spec’d, road bike that can be used for triathlon races. Sprint/Olympic Distances. Any suggestions

I am trying to stay between 1500-2200

Here are some of my choices that may work. What do you guys think?

Cervelo Soloist with 105 components

Felt f35

Kestrel Talon

Any comments or suggestions about these bikes? Used for road rides/triathlons

I am currently riding/racing on a 2003 Felt F50, full Ultegra group, cost $1500. Had a fitting done by a FIST certified fitter and got setup in very comfortable and more powerful (at least it feels like it to me) tri position.

"Gerard has also brought to us one known as Hid and through Hid we shall see the glory of Gerard produced in the fabric of performance. "

I thought you didn’t know Hid?

Could also add Giant TCR to the list as well as others.

The “Old” C4 Magik is perfect for both. www.c4carbon.com

C4 is an Italian bike builder that started with carbon frames years before the others, and still makes some of the best.

(B.t.w. - did you read about the new Giant sloping frame where the frame is extended with no need for seat post? This isn’t a Giant invention, look at C4 Vyrus - a bike C4 created some years ago.)
