Which BIKE do you use for your triathlon / time trial events I'm thinking of buying one of the specialized transition anyone got one whats your verdict on the bike
If your thinking of getting one of those you will not be disappointed!!!!!
I thought about one but opted instead for my Argon 18.... not gona be many of them in transition areas I can tell you that!
With the Transitions, even the comp is an excellent bike, I had a 2007 comp as my first Tri Bike, although it was made of aluminium then and not the carbon it is now, it was excellent.....
I ride a Tarmac S-works as my training bike and it is top notch too....You can not go wrong with a specialized in my opinion:)
I was 24th out of 127 on the bike leg at Northwich on Sunday, riding a £600 Trek 1.5, with no modifications at all except for aerobars. There were lots of nice bikes in transition too (yes there were half a dozen or so fat people on mountain bikes as well).

Its great!
Buy a Cervelo S1 (Soloist team) or S2 (Soloist carbon)
1. Only bike that can be genuinely be converted between true road and Tri geometry - by flipping the seatpost - so arobars actually work on it
2. Aero tubing
3.Excellent quality
4 you have 2 bikes for the price of 1

Not that I'd say no to a Specialized Transition.
