I am considering getting a new bike for triathlon - either Kuota K-factor or Argon18 Krypton.

Anyone using these bikes can give some feedback? Are they responsive on flat, and do they climb well? etc...

Argon18 Krypton is a road geometry, is it suitable for triathlon?

K-factor is a tri geometry. Can I use normal drop bar instead of tri base bar? Would it be weird with the tri geometry?
