[Macomb-Cycling] Triathlon Bike ??

[Steve Evans]

Carol,
    I'm planning to do a TT next weekend, or I would let you try my 
Cervelo--however, I'm afraid that it would be too big for you though.
    Good luck with the half-ironman next week.
    I suggest that you measure carefully before you shop for a TT bike, to 
be sure that the size is right, or at least very close.
    You may want to look at SlowTwitch.com. There are discussions of  proper 
size, as well as brands of tri bikes.
    Also, you will find a broad range of choices on e-bay [ time trial bike, 
tri bike, tt bike, etc], but I would have in mind what you want before you 
shop e-bay. I like Cervelo, But there are many good bikes available 
including Cannondale and Trek.
    Let me know if I can be of assistance. Good luck.
Steve Evans
