Hi folks,
After many many years, I am getting back into cycling, and hopefully triathlons as well. I am looking at two bikes, the TCR Aero 2 and Allez Comp Triple. On paper, and in $$, the Specialized is the nicer bike, but I wondered if anyone has ridden either of the two and what they're thoughts are. The Aero only has a double, and I'm not certain how big a deal that is - when I used to ride it was on an old Peugot that had all of 12 gears and I recall being perectly fine with that!

They are two very different bikes, in very different price ranges. I would say open up your options. Giant has some bikes that are more comparable to the Allez comp than the TCR Aero 2.
I would say that the TCR composite 3 is very close to the Allez Comp in terms of components and price.
