Hey guys...
I'm gonna guy a TT bike for next season soon...
With regard to the frame and the geometry, how different are the bikes from different manufacturers.
I want a bike which is gonna be fast enough for an OD but great for an IM.....
How many bikes should I test first? Can i be sure that a bike from a reputable maker will be good for me?
I am thinking about a Slice, a Cube or a Plasma.....
Thanks!

it will be Carbon anyway....no Alu for me!
My recent post was about 220 mags recent wind tunnel tests comparing a focus culebro (£876) to a P4 (6k) They found a 3 sec per kilo difference I.e. 2 minutes over 40k.
So here's the real question - should we spend an extra5k on a P4 to move my Olympic time from 2.32 to 2.30 or HIM from 5.49 up 5.45 or should we spend £5k oncoaching and buy the cheaper bike?
Unless u r elite and 2-5 minutes means worlds qualification.
I'm most concerned about getting a frame which doesn't fit me properly....
And, as Conehead said....I'm not sure how to convinve my LBS to order in bikes for me to test!
Conehead, why is your BB better than you last bike?
so you guys reckon, there is no appreciable difference between a Slice, a Plasma or a Cube carbon??
(assuming I have the right frame size).
